Answer 3

To open the brackets using the proper form of the Gerund, you need to convert the verbs in brackets into their Gerund form. Here are the revised sentences:

1. The cat was afraid of being punished and hid itself under the sofa. 2. The machine needs cleaning. 3. I was angry at being interrupted every other moment. 4. He was very glad of being helped in the difficulty. 5. The problem is not worth discussing. 6. She tried to avoid speaking to. 7. Do you mind him being examined by a heart specialist?

In these sentences, the Gerund form is used to express actions or states that are ongoing or continuous. By using the Gerund, we can convey the intended meaning more effectively.
