2. The new recruit received an injury during the first day of training.
Explanation:In grammar, an active voice is a term used for sentences in which the subject is the one directly performing the action. For example,
Joe killed the snake.
In this sentence, the subject Joe performs the action described by the verb kill.
Active voice pays attention to who performed an action
A contrast to an active voice is a passive voice. In a passive voice, the subject is being acted upon by another object whether the object is defined or not. An example is;
The snake was killed by Joe.
Here, the thing (snake) acted (killed) upon is the subject of the sentence.
Passive voice pays attention to what was acted upon

Name signs are given out to anyone who wants one. Group of answer choices True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
In deaf culture, someone´s name sign is the sign that identifies that person as a member of the Deaf community, and can only be assigned to a new non-native member of the community by a culturally and lingually Deaf person. That name sign is considered as a gift given by someone, and not something that a non-native can choose for oneself. Similar to how Native Americans grant names to outsiders that have become honorary members of the tribe, people who have been assigned a sign name have been embraced in the Deaf community.
