Your question is incomplete, but most probably the full question was.
Read the excerpt from "Hokusai's The Great Wave."
So The Great Wave, far from being the quintessence of Japan, is a hybrid work, a fusion of European materials and conventions with a Japanese sensibility. No wonder this image has been so loved in Europe: it is an exotic relative, not a complete stranger.
It also, I think, shows a peculiarly Japanese ambivalence. As a viewer, you have no place to stand, no footing. You, too, must be in a boat, under the Great Wave, and in danger. The dangerous sea over which European things and ideas travelled has, however, been drawn with a profound ambiguity.

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).

There is still a trace of a German accent in his speech. What do these stage directions reveal about when the opening scene takes place
Answer:
The stage instructions show that the opening scene takes place after the Franks have been captured.
Explanation:

SUBMIT
Answer:

Explanation:
Elie Wiesel's "The Perils of Indifference" was a speech that he gave at the White House on the 12th of April 1999. This speech pronounces his take on one of the harshest human traits that are indifference.
In his speech, Wiesel lists a number of tragedies, "the defeat of Nazism, the collapse of communism, the rebirth of Israel on its ancestral soil, the demise of apartheid, Israel's peace treaty with Egypt, the peace accord in Ireland". These historical events are supporting arguments, evidence for the claim that he made.

In sentence 10 (reproduced below), the writer wants to compare a specific difference between making pennies now and making pennies at an earlier time.
In 2001, it cost 0.79 cents to make a penny, but now, with metal costs increasing, the cost has changed in a noteworthy way.
Which of the following versions of the underlined text most effectively accomplishes this goal?
A. (as it is now)
B. the cost has soared to 1.8 cents per penny
C. economists worry that the penny is unsustainable
D. the United States Mint has looked into less expensive metals
E. the penny is made of only 2.5% copper
Answer:
B. the cost has soared to 1.8 cents per penny.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the reproduction of the given sentence means changing the sentence or particular line into a more refined or better version. This will be in tune with maintaining the meaning of the replaced line or words while trying to 'change' it.
While the first part of the sentence provides the previous cost of making pennies, the second part is about the current cost. And in the given sentence, "the cost has changed in a noteworthy way" can be changed into "the cost has soared to 1.8 cents per penny" to make the point much clearer. This change will ensure that the readers know and understand the 'hike' in the cost of penny making, which also completes the comparison.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
