XIV. Given below are the instructions to boil rice. Use the instructions to complete the
paragraph in passive voice.

Step 1 : Boil water and add salt.
Pour water (for every cup of rice, use 1 3/4 cups of water) into a large saucepan
with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil. Mix 1 teaspoon salt into the water.

Step 2 : Pour in rice.
Add it to the boiling water.
Step 3 : Stir once or just enough to separate the rice.
Use a wooden spoon to separate any clumps. Don’t over-stir. That can cause
the rice to become sticky.
Step 4 : Cover the pot and simmer.
Be sure the lid fits tightly on the pot. Turn down the heat to its lowest setting.
Let rice simmer for about 18 minutes, then remove from heat and allow the
rice to steam in the pot for another 5 minutes.
Step 5 : Fluff rice with a fork.

Just before serving, gently fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
