Excerpt from a baker's dozen
david matherne
counselors were shown that i didn't have to graduate with my class, uke they so earnestly wished for me to,

- which is the most effective substitution for the underlined part of this sentence?

1 counselors showed
2 i showed the counselors
3 the counselors were shown
4 i was shown the counselors

2) I showed the counselors

Explanation:

The sentences Counselors were shown that I didn't have to graduate with my class, like they so earnestly wished for me to and I showed the counselors that I didn't have to graduate with my class, like they so earnestly wished for me to have the same meaning. The only difference is that the first sentence is written in passive voice, while the second is written in active voice. In the active voice, the subject performs an action represented by the verb on an object. In the passive voice, the subject (which would be an object in the active voice sentence with the same meaning) is a recipient of an action described by the verb. The active voice is often preferred, as it represents a more straightforward way of presenting ideas and clearly expresses who is doing what.

The third option is also correct, but it is not the most effective substitution.

The fourth option is grammatically incorrect.

moon-letters were a method of writing invented by the dwarves. moon-letters were ordinary runes, but written in such a way that they could only be read when the light of the moon shone behind the writing. some moon-letters could be read by any moonlight, but it was possible to make the writing even more secret. more sophisticated moon-letters could only be read by the light of the same shape of moon, or at the same time of year, as when they were written. hope this !

the correct answer is video games and fast food.

hope this (:
