Read this example, Martin is assigned an argumentative essay. The prompt says, 'Write an argumentative essay that takes a position on whether students should have to pass a test to graduate from high school." Martin develops this claim: "If students have passed all their classes and tests in those classes, it is not fair to make them also pass a lest to graduate from high school." Which answer choice best describes Martin's claim? Martin's claim does not take a position Martin's claim is based more on emotion than reasoning. Martin's claim does not respond to the prompl. Martin's claim is good because it appropriately responds to the prompt.

answer: c) researchers say that roald dahl is one of the most famous children’s writers of all time.

roald dahl was a welsh novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter and pilot. he is particularly famous for his works for children, such as james and the giant peach, matilda, the witches, fantastic mr. fox and charlie and the chocolate factory.

out of these options, c is the one that supports the claim of dahl being close to his family the least. option a states that he was close to his mother and grandmother. option b states that his mom used to tell him stories. option d says that dahl told his daughters bedtime stories. however, option c does not talk about dahl's family at all.

i'm unsure whether this sentence is active or passive voice.

    i want to be there when the final match is played at wimbledon.

when we marked it, the teacher said that it was passive voice, but isn't the subject ("i") doing the action, which makes it active? can someone explain?

passive-voice

    it's not the matrix clause that is passive, but just the subordinate clause functioning as complement of "when", i.e. the final match is played at wimbledon. it's a 'short passive' in that there is no internalised complement (by phrase). the subject of the subordinate passive clause is "the final match". "i" is subject of the matrix clause. – billj jun 13 '17 at 15: 29
