The principle that underlay this work was that mental experiences, like physical ones, are part of nature.

He had to be. He had to be bigger than the Brooklyn teammates who got up a petition to keep him off the ball club, bigger than the pitchers who threw at him or the base runners who dug their spikes into his shin, bigger than the bench jockeys who hollered for him to carry their bags and shine their shoes, bigger than the so-called fans who mocked him with mops on their heads and wrote him death threats.

1. The Latin word origin of segregate means
A. unmixed.
B. grieving.

STUDY GUIDE FOR SECOND PARTIAL LEVEL HB 1

GRAMMAR:
PASSIVE VOICETo change from active to passive voice you must give more importance to what the subject is doing than to the subject. This means that the VERB or ACTION is the most important part of the sentence.

Example:
ACTIVE VOICE: Susan waters the plants every day (the subject "Susan" gets more importance than what shw's doing.)

ACTIVE VOICE: The plants are watered by Susan every day. (The new subject is "The plants" and what is happening to them, "are watered". Now it's more important what happens to the plants than who is doing the action).

We use PASSIVE VOICE to describe events from the present, past or future.
To write in passive voice, follow the formula:

ACTIVE: SUBJECT + VERB IN PRESENT, PAST OR FUTURE + PREDICATE COMPLEMENT.

PASSIVE: NEW SUBJECT + VERB TO BE IN PRESENT, PAST, FUTURE + VERB IN PAST PARTICIPLE + PREDICATE COMPLEMENT.

EXAMPLES:
THE STUDENTS WRITE THEIR JOURNALS EVERY WEEK. (In present)
Passive: The journals are written by the students every week.

JOHN RAN THE 52 KILOMETERS RACE YESTERDAY.(In past tense)
Passive: The 52 kilometers race was run by John yesterday.

SOFIA WILL PERFORM A GREAT SHOW AT THE TEATHRE TOMORROW. (In future)
Passive: A great show will be performed at the teathre by Sofia tomorrow.
