00I met a paragraph concerning Latin Dances. It's like the below.02br
02br
00The shoulder line , however, is still straight. Therefore, the sides of the *torso are unequal; The left side is stretched long, while the right side is shorter. Line shows the clockwise rotation of the hips 01u01font00resulting02font02u00 from the straight knee and hip 01u01font00being pushed02font02u00 backwards while the bent knee and hip 01font01u00push02u00 02font00forward.02br

00➳First Question.02br
02br
00In the last sentence, the verb, 'push' is used both 'transtively (being pushed)' and 'intranstively (push).' Isn't it a bit inconsistent, and shouldn't we change one of two?02br
02br
00I mean, if we use 'being pushed,' we should change underlined 'pushed' to 'is pushed.' or if we don't want to change underlined 'pushed,' we should change 'being pushed' to 'pushing.' Please help me.02br
02br
00➳Second Question.02br
02br
00I know 'result' is used only intranstively, but isn't there any chance of using 'result' as transtive verb, so the use of 'resulted' can be possible in the above sentence. (Am I too picky? Sorry if I am, but in the sense of non-native and Korean speaker intranstive verb 'result' is too complicating!)0-

00The use of 'push' in both the passive and the active suggests to me that it is the action of one knee and hip moving forward which pushes the other knee and hip backward.02br

00If you used 'resulted' in the text, it would be a reference to the past (i.e. what the result was). The use of 'resulting' indicates that this is what t
