Make the following sentence more active: the test was completed by the student.

Explanation: passive voice is a form or set of forms of a verb in which the subject undergoes the action of the verb. Active voice is when the subject performs the action of the verb. In the given sentence we can see an example of passive voice, because the subject of the sentence (the test) is not performing the action of the verb (the student is the one who completed the test). So, to make this sentence more active we need to write it with "the student" as the subject: The student completed the test.

im not to sure

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location
