Is this figurtaive?

Answer 2

Answer:

The question is not mentioned properly so as a sentence it is explained as follows.

• The given sentence is an example of passive voice. Because auxiliary verb 'were' is indicating that it is a passive voice. And more verb has been written in 3rd form and it is 'shocked', so it is a passive voice.
• The sentence is written in Simple Past Tense. Because main verb shock is written in verb's past form : shocked.
• A sentence has two parts. one is subject and other is predicate.
• So , 'they' is subject and 'were shocked over the sight of the destruction' is predicate.
• And again it is a exclamatory sentence. because 'shocked' means it.
