(WILL GIVE BRAINLIST) Rewrite the statement using the active voice:
The beautiful sweater was given to me by my best friend on my birthday last year.

Explanation:

A sentence is in the active voice when the subject performs an action.

A sentence is said to be in the passive voice when the subject receives an action.

The given sentence is in the active voice.

If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.

So,

'Subject (He) + verb (gave) + indirect object (me) + direct object (a beautiful flower pot)' changes to:

'New subject (A beautiful flower pot) + verb (was given) + indirect object (to me) + by + new object (him)'

The passive form of 'gave' in the simple past tense is 'was/were given'.

This can be seen in option A, hence it's the right answer.

Option B: The verb form 'had given to me' is in active form. As a result, the meaning of the sentence is incomplete, as the rest of the sentence is in passive voice.

Option D: Similarly, in this option, the verb form 'had been giving' is in the active form. It expresses the past perfect continuous tense, and does not express the simple past tense of the given sentence.

Option C: This sentence is in the active voice, expressing the past progressive tense. It has changed in meaning.

Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
