Question

Rewrite the following paragraph so that all the sentences that use the passive voice are changed to the active voice.

In early China, The Villages were attacked by Nian, a furious mountain beast, every month. A suggestion was made by a wise old man in the village to conquer the monster. Drums were beaten, red robes were worn, and firecrackers were thrown by villagers to frighten the beast. The Nian was scared away by these loud noises and bright lights for a year. The traditional lion dance is performed by modern Chinese people every year in New Year celebrations to honor the Chinese legend.

Answer 1

The paragraph was rewritten in active voice, with each passive sentence adjusted so that the subjects perform the actions directly.

Step-by-step explanation:

To rewrite the paragraph in active voice, all sentences that use the passive voice need to be changed so that the subject performs the action. Here is the rewritten paragraph with active voice: In early China, a furious mountain beast named Nian attacked The Villages every month. A wise old man from the village suggested a plan to conquer the monster. The villagers beat drums, wore red robes, and threw firecrackers to frighten the beast. These loud noises and bright lights scared Nian away for a year. Nowadays, modern Chinese people perform the traditional lion dance in New Year celebrations every year to honor the Chinese legend.
