Based on the information given in your previous questions and the examples provided, the answers I've given are consistent with the principles of active and passive voice in English. The active voice is characterized by the subject of the sentence actively performing an action, whereas in the passive voice, the subject is the recipient of the action.

Here are the justifications for the answers:

Active voice: "Somebody painted a colorful mural on the classroom wall."
- "Somebody" (the subject) performs the action (painted) directly.

For the purpose of using active voice: "to make writing stronger."
- Active voice generally makes statements more direct and assertive, which can strengthen the writing by making the prose clearer and more engaging.

Passive voice example: "Local television stations are owned by larger news organizations."
- "Local television stations" (the subject) are the recipients of the action (are owned) performed by "larger news organizations."

I provided responses based on typical use of active and passive voice. However, without additional context, there are sometimes multiple interpretations of questions about voice, especially when it comes to identifying the purpose behind using one voice or the other. The purpose can depend on stylistic choice, clarity, focus of the sentence, and what the writer intends to emphasize.
