Put Through
For this:
"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.
