Who taught her such things into passive voice​
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

By whom was she taught such things?

Explanation:

An active voice is when the subject performs the action/ verb whereas a passive voice is where the verb acts upon the subject. And the verbs are changed accordingly.

In the given sentence <em>"Who taught her such things?"</em>, the word "who" is the subject which is changed to "by whom". And since the verb "taught" is the second form and third form of the same verb "teach", there will be no change in it.

Therefore, the final sentence in passive voice will be

<em>By whom was she taught such things?</em>

What is Judson doing with the whiskey?
Monica [59]

Answer:

Judson put in a rat poison into the bottle of whiskey to catch the thief who has been coming to steal it

Explanation:

The story "Ruthless" is about a man named Judson Webb. Judson and his beautiful wife plan on travelling away to another town for the winter.

He has a special safe where he stores his guns,fishing equipment and liquor. Last winter while he was away with his wife someone broke into his house and stole one of his drinks. He has the feeling that the person will attempt to do the same thing this year.

Judson decides to put in a rat poison into one of the open bottle of whiskey inorder to catch the thief. His wife tried to discourage him from doing this but he bluntly refused, she then went outside the house to wait for him to pack up his things.

As Judson was about leaving he remembered that he had forgotten to put his hunting boots into his bag. He went back to get them, as he was about reaching out to get the boots he stepped on an acorn which made him slide and hit his head on the table.

He fell to the ground and was unconscious for some minutes. By the time he woke up he found himself in Alec's arms. Alec is the caretaker who was incharge of watching their houses while they were away.

Alec found the bottle of whiskey on the table and decided to give Judson one glass to revive him. Judson was still not conscious enough to remember that the drink was poisonous. He drank up the glass of whiskey and died immediately.
