Quiescence (n)- state of being inactive
lucid(adj)- clear to understand
Using this week's vocab words (at least 4 of them) write a paragraph using ALL passive voice. THIS SHOULD SOUND RIDICULOUS. Refresher on passive voice:
Refresher #1:
Passive voice is when the noun being acted upon is made the
subject of the sentence. (Active voice is when the noun doing the action
is the subject.) Let me explain with an example.
The house was haunted.
“The house” is the noun being acted upon, in other words “house” is
the object of the verb “to haunt”. It’s clear here that the house is not
doing the haunting. It is not doing the action. It is receiving the
action. However, it is the subject of the sentence, which makes this
sentence a passive voice sentence. (In an active voice sentence, the
noun performing the action should be the subject. In this case, the
active voice version would be: “Ghosts haunted the house.”)
Refresher #2:

DeleteAfter the lunch was served to the students, their stomachs were upset. As the classrooms were returned to by the students, DYSPEPTIC and grouchy they became. Coming from the students' mouths were groans of pain and frustration, until the class was addressed by the teacher. "In an effort to PRECLUDE your pain and suffering, I will speak with the cafeteria staff about the lunch choices," was uttered by him. However, when the staff was approached by the teacher later that afternoon, the lunch room was filled with extreme animosity, and an ALTERCATION did ensue. Hearing the commotion, the agitation was QUELLED by the principal shortly before the police were called. The next morning, the room was entered by eager students while the desk chair was filled by a DOLEFUL teacher, and it was explained that, although the situation was attempted to be EMENDED, the problem was left unsolved.

The worst baseball game ever was seen by me! It was won by the Tigers, and lost by the Orioles. The Impervious catcher had ten balls get past him. The scoring could not be quelled by the pitcher or anyone else. His terrible form could not be amended by him. The game was precluded when the Tigers scored 20 runs in the third inning. Such a doleful feeling had never been felt by me.

Death had occurred in the house (five to be exact, but who is counting?), little did they know.

Doleful sentiments were conveyed by Calum Von Moger when he lifted so much he snapped the bar. His sadness quickly turned to rage due to the lack of quality conveyed by the bar.

Entering the gym was made impervious because he threw a tractor trailer in front of the entrance. Afterwards, his mood was emended because the tractor trailer was found to have Hagen Dazs in it.

She was attempting to quell their anger, suggesting ways to emend the problems. However, their minds were not lucid and they refused to abjure their claims. She was forced to wait it out quiescently. She was unable to do anything but adopt a doleful expression and make sure they knew she was not going to become inured to their violent words.

The doleful failures that tried to oust him were exiled with no chance of emending their wrongs.
