Explain why a virus is considered alive while a rock is not?
Mainly because rocks don't reproduce. A lot of scientists don't consider viruses alive, either, for pretty much the same reason: they can't reproduce themselves, they have to co-opt the machinery of a living cell in order to do so.
Neither a rock nor a virus can make food or change food into energy explain why a virus is considered alive while a rock is not?
Viruses are considered alive because they can replicate and evolve, although they require a host cell to do so. Rocks, on the other hand, do not have the ability to carry out any life processes or replicate themselves. The defining characteristics of life, such as growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli, are not observed in rocks.

Why is a virus considered alive and a rock is not?
Very good question. Viruses are not considered alive by many (I might even go as far as to say most scientists wouldn't consider viruses alive, but I'd have to ask more of them first to be sure). Neither is a rock! Those that think viruses are alive are, as you have said, suggesting pretty much anything in the world can be considered alive. If a virus is alive, then by folding a piece of paper into a paper aeroplane I have created life. A paper plane alive? Absurd! Ridiculous really isn't it? Viruses aren't alive. They're just molecules that happen to react in a certain way to seem alive to anyone that hasn't studied a biological natural science for several years. But once you understand what happens on atomic and molecular scales, you realise they're not alive at all. No different from a molecule of glucose. It goes is, something is done to it, and it comes out. The only reason a Virus would be considered alive is because they are structured in such a way as to allow them to be reproduced, and contain proteins with the ability to influence the chemical machinery of cells in other living things.
