PART IV: Rewrite the following passive paragraph in active (10%) Rockets were invented by the Chinese about A. D. 1000. Gunpowder was packed into bamboo
tubes and ignited by means of a fuse. These rockets were fired by soldiers at enemy armies and
usually caused panic. In thirteenth-century England an improved form of gunpowder was
introduced by Roger Bacon. As a result, rockets were used in battles and were a common-
although unreliable-weapon. In the early eighteenth century a twenty-pound rocket that
traveled almost two miles was constructed by William Congreve, an English artillery expert, By
the late nineteenth century thought was given to supersonic speeds by the physicist Ernst Mach.
The sonic boom was predicted by him. The first liquid-fuel rocket was launched by the American
Robert Goddard in 1926. A pamphlet written by him anticipated almost all future rocket
developments. As a result of his pioneering work, he is called the father of modem rocketry.
