Explain why this sentence uses passive voice. The flowers are trimmed by Jill every month.

it uses passive voice because they are trying to point out the main part. it wanted to point out that the flowers were trimmed by jill every month so it pointed out that jill trims the flowers every month

Explanation:

In English, the passive voice is used when we want to emphasize certain part of the sentence, such as the person or the thing affected by the action. In this case, the writer of the sentence wants to focus attention on the object (the flowers) by putting them at the beginning  of the sentence, thus making it the subject (and the most important component of the sentence).

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
