Note
One spelling does two jobs: the past tense (they eliminated the threat) and the participle after have or be. Nearly every meaning of eliminate takes an object, so the passive comes naturally: a team is eliminated from a competition, a suspect eliminated from an inquiry. In slang the same passive can quietly mean killed, so context matters. Only the bodily sense can drop its object: the body simply eliminates.
