19. The latex is carried to the factory, where it is coagulated and made into sheets.
20. The police inspector said that roadblocks have been set up at every strategic point and the public has been warned to keep a lookout for the escaped prisoners.
Explanation:
In order to change a sentence from the active voice into the passive, we follow the steps below:
1. The subject of the active sentence becomes the agent of the passive one. It is preceded by the preposition "by".
2. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive one. If the verb has both a direct and an indirect object, either can be chosen to be the new subject. That is why we have two ways or rewriting sentence number 16.
3. We must identify the verb and its tense. In the passive, we add the auxiliary "be" respecting the original tense, and we change the main verb into its past participle form. Modal verbs such as "can", "may", or "should" are kept.
Take a look at the example below:
- Active voice: I (sub.) have given (verb, present perfect) her (object I) a new necklace (object II).
- Passive voice, option I: She (sub.) has been given (verb, p.p. aux. "be") a new necklace (object) by me (agent).
- Passive voice, option II: A new necklace (sub.) has been given (verb, p.p., aux. "be") to her (object) by me (agent).

Based on this excerpt, what inference can be made about Odysseus? Check all that apply. o Odysseus is a careless leader who does not care about the safety of his crew. 0 Odysseus's curiosity about the Cyclops is stronger than his good judgment. o Odysseus wants to see if the Cyclops has anything to give to him and his men. Odysseus is worried about appearing weak in front of his men
Answer:
Odysseus's curiosity about the Cyclops is stronger than his good judgment.
Explanation:
The story Odysseus written by Homer characterizes Odysseus as an intrusive person who most times allowed his curiosity to over-ride his good judgment. From the excerpt, Odysseus led his crewmen to the Cyclop's cave because he was curious about the nature of the mainland natives. He wanted to know if they were savages or good-natured men. Thus he entered the cave with his crew and refused to heed the advice of a member of his crew who suggested that they sail out of that territory.
Odysseus remained adamant and this eventually caused the death of many of his men.

Answer:
Raveloe is described by the author George Elliot as a place "where many of the old echoes lingered, undrowned by new voices".
Explanation:
A suggestion that this small, idyllic town has its own culture that is set in its old ways. Old fashioned and possibly inclined to backward thinking. The village is not isolated. It is only an hour's ride away from the nearest roadway but it is remote enough that it can "not be reached by the vibrations of public opinion." Raveloe is also described as an important looking village with its old church and large churchyard found in the heart of the village. It boasts of well-tended walled orchards, two or three large brick and stone houses and ornamental weathercocks.

PART A: How does Mr. Woodifield's diction contribute to the reader's understanding
of his character?
A. He seems poor and uneducated.
B. He seems pleasant and sympathetic.
C. He seems distant and harsh.
D. He seems flaky and distracted.
Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, after searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like yours, which featured the text "The Fly" written by Katherine Mansfield. If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.
Answer:
D. He seems flaky and distracted.
Explanation:
In a text, diction refers to the use of specific words that the author has decided to use to make an impression on the reader, about the text, or about the characteristics of a character. Accordingly, after reading the text, we can see that the diction the author used in Mr. Woodifield's speech and behavior makes him seem like a weird and distracted character.
Mr. Woodifield says things like "Y'are very snug in here" and "There was something I wanted to tell you [...] Now, what was it? I had it in my mind when I started out this morning.” This shows how this character gets lost in thought, behaving in an unconventional and unfocused way.

Write a letter to your brother in third year in another school who has written to confide in you that is about to stop schooling and go into business write a letter to him advising his against his decision.
Dear brother.
I recently learned of your plans for the future and learned that you intend to drop out of school and start your own business. For this reason, I decided to send this letter to you, as I would like to talk about this.
First of all, I would like to say that I am very proud to know that you are already planning your future and planning how to support yourself and be independent. While this is a very positive attitude, I would advise you not to drop out of school to do this.
The school will give you the foundation for you to be a good professional, and education can extend your career options into the future. I know you believe that opening your own business is what you want to do, but you are very young and our desires tend to change over the years. Finishing high school, you will have the basics to follow the profession you decide and can even continue your studies, going to a college that will be extremely important for the good management of the business you intend to open. In addition, education gives you security to follow a plan B, in case the plan A does not work.
Therefore, I ask that you heed my advice and I believe, you have nothing to lose with it.
I hope you will contact me to discuss this in more detail.
With love
