Vocabulary
Untold/ untouched/ uninhabited
1. Our products are untouched by human hands.
2. The island was uninhabited by humans.
3. The story remains untold.
Are the underlined not passive verbs but adjective(adjectival passives?)
Actually, I get confused because there is by in #1 and #2. So it looks the underline in #1 and #2 is passive verbs. What do you think?

Hi Here you will have your doubts cleared once you take into account the part of speech: Untouched, uninhabited and untold are adjectives and not verbs. Hence the question of passive voice is not pertinent here.
