These blunders are humorous but also highlight how a lack of social awareness and politeness can lead to embarrassment. The play uses her blunders to teach the value of thinking before speaking.

    Mary doesn’t like being told what to do because she believes she’s mature enough to manage things herself. She insists she is not a child and finds her mother’s instructions unnecessary. However, as the play unfolds, it becomes clear that Mary lacks the social awareness needed to handle guest conversations. Her dislike for direction reflects a common feeling among growing children who want independence but still need help navigating polite behaviour and communication.

The correct passive sentence is: “Sick animals were treated by him.” This construction shifts the attention to the animals being treated, which is useful when the focus is more on the action or the object rather than the person doing it. Passive voice is often used in formal or scientific writing.
