youve most likely heard of a dance marathon. but have you heard of a long-distance tango marathon? that was just one of the many fun fads that swept across america during the 1920s.

which sentence uses the same voice and mood as the last sentence in the paragraph?
○ why did fads fuel the new mass media during that decade?
○ during that decade, the new mass media fueled many fads.
○ during that decade, the new mass media were fueled by many fads.
○ why were the new mass media fueled by many fads during that decade?

Explanation:

1. First, analyze the last sentence of the paragraph: "That was just one of the many fun fads that swept across America during the 1920s." This is a declarative (indicative mood) sentence stating a fact, and it uses active voice (the subject "fads" performs the action "swept").
2. Evaluate each option:

• Option 1: A question (interrogative mood), does not match.
• Option 2: Declarative mood, active voice (subject "new mass media" performs action "fueled") — matches the original sentence's voice and mood.
• Option 3: Declarative mood but passive voice (subject "new mass media" receives the action), does not match.
• Option 4: A question (interrogative mood), does not match.

Answer:

During that decade, the new mass media fueled many fads.
