Answer and Explanation:
Using the directions given, let's make the necessary changes or identifications in the sentences:
1. They gave the chief a brown paper bag. --> (Passive Voice) A brown paper bag was given to the chief.
In the passive voice, what was the object of the verb in the original sentence becomes the subject in the new sentence. The purpose is to emphasize the receiver of the action instead of the performer.
2. I saw him smiling as the lorries drove away.
A phrasal verb is an idiomatic phrase formed by a verb and a preposition, a verb and an adverb, or a combination of both. In sentence two, the phrasal verb "drive away" is in its past form, "drove away".
3. Then after some time, he started university in Lagos, didn't he?
A question tag is a short question added to the ending of the sentence with the purpose of confirming the information previously state. It should be in the same tense and have the same subject as the sentence.
4. He started speaking to himself, we all thought he had gone mad.
There are not underlined verbs in the sentence, so let's identify each verb and its tense just to make sure.
- started - simple past
- thought - simple past
- had gone - past perfect
5. He said to us, "These drums are poisonous and very dangerous". --> (Reported Speech) He told us the drums were poisonous and very dangerous.
When we report what someone said, we usually change the verb tense to the past form of the one used in the original sentence. In this case, "are" is simple present. It was changed to "were", simple past, in the reported sentence.
Read this sentence and then use the drop-down menu to complete the next statement.

Which statements describe the reasons why the Supreme Court found the RFRA to be unconstitutional? Check all that apply. Congress had not taken strong enough action to interpret the First Amendment. Congress had changed the meaning of the First Amendment, rather than enforcing it. Congress had given states too much freedom to interpret the First Amendment. Congress had created a law that was not proportional to the problem it was fixing. Congress had taken away states’ rights by passing the RFRA.
ANSWERS: 2,4,5
Answer:
Congress had changed the meaning of the First Amendment, rather than enforcing it. Congress had created a law that was not proportional to the problem it was fixing. Congress had taken away states’ rights by passing the RFRA.Explanation:
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 was passed in light of the Supreme Court upholding an Oregon state decision to deny two American Indian men unemployment benefits for having taken a banned substance which they normally use in their religious events.
Congress passed this bill with only 3 Senators opposing it so that it could prevent such from happening again.
The Supreme Court however ruled the Act as unconstitutional as it claimed that Congress was overexerting its powers by: changing the meaning of the First Amendment, creating a law that was disproportionate to the problems it was fixing and overexerting federal power on states and taking away their rights to manage their affairs in this regard.
Answer:
- Congress had changed the meaning of the First Amendment, rather than enforcing it.
- Congress had created a law that was not proportional to the problem it was fixing.
- Congress had taken away states’ rights by passing the RFRA.

Answer:
The author shows that British, American and African stories have authors who portray people, situations and places they know.
Explanation:
This question is about “The Danger of a Single Story” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
In this speech, the author says that she spent her childhood reading American and British books, where the authors described people, climate, places and common situations for these two countries. She loved these books and wrote history using those foreign elements that did not exist in the African country where she lived. When she met the African authors, who wrote about what she knew, she realized that the books are adapted to their countries and this is very important to maintain the local culture and show people that they can be portrayed in the literature, regardless of what they are.

Write a summary of Nights and Dragons—From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne
Answer:
The sound of thunder reminds the author of her ideas on whether dragons could have been real or not. She explains that she has always had a fascination with dragons that she saw in storybooks, paintings, movies, and even her dreams, and decided a an early age to find out if they were real. Despite finding that most scientists have strong evidence to prove dragons did not exist, she found inspiration in her grandmother´s words to keep her quest.
Explanation:
Then she found that many different cultures had described dragons in similar ways, and not only fictional as they were present in old legal papers, travel logs, and even the Bible, which led her to believe that the creature could actually have existed. Furthermore, she found some Biologists who strongly disagreed with the prevailing evidence against dragons.
She remains unsure of the answer, but the thunder reminds her of dragons, rekindling her childhood dreams and keeping the fascinating possibility alive.
