Question

1. why are active verbs important to technical texts?

active verbs are not important to technical texts.
active verbs are stylistically stronger than passive verbs.
active verbs indicate the actions the reader must take in each step of a technical process.
active verbs indicate certain terms that are specific to the topic of the text.

Explanation:

Technical texts prioritize clarity and actionable instructions. Active verbs directly identify the specific actions a reader needs to perform for technical processes, making instructions unambiguous. The other options are incorrect: active verbs are important for technical writing, stylistic strength is not their core technical purpose, and they do not define topic-specific terms.

Active verbs indicate the actions the reader must take in each step of a technical process.
