To determine whether the statements relate to active or passive voice, we need to analyze them based on the general characteristics of each voice:

  1. Active Voice: The subject performs the action (e.g., "The dog chased the cat").
  2. Passive Voice: The subject receives the action (e.g., "The cat was chased by the dog").

Now, let’s categorize each of your points:

  1. To emphasize an action - Active voice (focus on the action itself rather than the subject).

  2. To write clear, concise sentences - This is neutral; it doesn't specifically indicate either active or passive voice.

  3. To tell about rules or laws - This is neutral; it can be expressed in either voice depending on the context.

  4. To explain an action when the subject is unknown - Passive voice (often done when the doer is not specified, e.g., "The laws were passed").

  5. To emphasize who is responsible for something - Active voice (focuses on the subject's role in performing the action).

  6. To avoid responsibility - Passive voice (often used to shift the focus away from the subject responsible for the action, e.g., "Mistakes were made").

Summary:

  • Active voice:

    • To emphasize an action
    • To emphasize who is responsible for something

  • Passive voice:

    • To explain an action when the subject is unknown
    • To avoid responsibility

  • Neutral:

    • To write clear, concise sentences
    • To tell about rules or laws

This classification may vary slightly based on context, but it provides a general understanding.

You weren't supposed to do neutral you were only supposed to choose active or passive

Apologies for the misunderstanding! Let’s categorize each of the statements as either active or passive voice explicitly:

  1. To emphasize an action - Active Voice

  2. To write clear, concise sentences - Active Voice

  3. To tell about rules or laws - Active Voice

  4. To explain an action when the subject is unknown - Passive Voice

  5. To emphasize who is responsible for something - Active Voice

  6. To avoid responsibility - Passive Voice
