Put Through
For this:
article:
"Travis Alexander's ex-girlfriend, Deanna Reid, was put through pointed and embarrassing questions Tuesday by lawyers for the woman accused of killing him, Jodi Arias."
Is 'put through' used correctly here? I thought whatever comes after 'put through' should be either ing-gerunds or something that a person could be in, at, or a participant of.

So "to be put through questions" is as correct as "to be put through questioning"?

whatofSo "to be put through questions" is as correct as "to be put through questioning"?Sure, because 'questions' implies 'questioning'. Obviously, you couldn't say 'put through furniture'. 'furniture' doesn't imply any kind of action.
