Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    I woke up late today. 

    • A.

      Transitive 

    • B.

      Intransitive 

    Correct Answer
    B. Intransitive 
    Explanation
    The sentence "I woke up late today." contains an intransitive verb. Intransitive verbs are verbs that do not require a direct object to complete their meaning. In this case, "woke up" is the intransitive verb, and it does not act upon a direct object; it simply describes the action of rousing from sleep.

    The bell rang. 

    • A.

      Transitive 

    • B.

      Intransitive 

    Correct Answer
    B. Intransitive 
    Explanation
    A transitive verb requires a direct object to receive the action of the verb. An intransitive verb does not require a direct object. In the sentence "The bell rang," the verb "rang" does not have a direct object. The action of ringing is not done to something or someone. Therefore, "rang" is an intransitive verb.

      Intransitive 

    Correct Answer
    B. Intransitive 
    Explanation
    The given sentence "The egg fell down" does not have a direct object, which is a characteristic of intransitive verbs. Intransitive verbs do not require an object to complete their meaning. In this case, "fell" is an intransitive verb as it does not require an object to convey its action.

      Transitive 

    • B.

      Intransitive 

    Correct Answer
    A. Transitive 
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "Transitive". In grammar, a transitive verb is a verb that requires an object to complete its meaning. In this case, since Nida is writing a story, the verb "writing" requires an object, which is the story. Therefore, "writing" is a transitive verb.

    Correct Answer
    A. Transitive 
    Explanation
    The given sentence "I filled the bucket" is an example of a transitive verb. A transitive verb is a verb that requires an object to complete its meaning. In this case, the verb "filled" requires an object, which is "the bucket." The action of filling is being done to the bucket, making it a transitive verb.

  • 6. 

    The glass was fall. 

    • A.

      Transitive 

    • B.

      Intransitive 

    Correct Answer
    B. Intransitive 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Intransitive" because the sentence "The glass was fall" does not have a direct object. Intransitive verbs do not require a direct object to complete their meaning. Transitive verbs, on the other hand, require a direct object to receive the action of the verb. Since there is no direct object in the given sentence, it can be classified as an intransitive verb.

    • A.

    • B.

      Intransitive 

    Correct Answer
    A. Transitive 
    Explanation
    The given sentence "The cat smelled a rat" indicates that the cat is performing the action of smelling, and the object being smelled is a rat. Intransitive verbs do not require an object, while transitive verbs do. Since there is an object (rat) in the sentence, it can be concluded that "smelled" is a transitive verb.

    Correct Answer
    B. Intransitive 
    Explanation
    The given sentence "It rained heavily" does not have a direct object. It does not indicate that the rain affected or acted upon anything or anyone else. Therefore, it is an example of an intransitive sentence. Intransitive verbs do not require a direct object to complete their meaning.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Ring the bell twice. 

    • A.

      Transitive 

    • B.

      Intransitive 

    Correct Answer
    A. Transitive 
    Explanation
    A transitive verb is a verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning. In the given sentence, "Ring the bell twice," the verb "ring" is transitive because it acts on the direct object "the bell." The action of ringing is directed towards an object, making it a transitive verb. In contrast, intransitive verbs do not require a direct object and can stand alone. However, this sentence clearly has a direct object ("the bell"), confirming that "ring" is a transitive verb in this context.

  • 10. 

    She saw a picture. 

    • A.

      Transitive 

    • B.

      Intransitive 

    Correct Answer
    A. Transitive 
    Explanation
    The given sentence "She saw a picture" is an example of a transitive verb. The verb "saw" is transitive because it requires a direct object to complete its meaning. In this case, the direct object is "a picture." Without the direct object, the sentence would be incomplete and the meaning would be unclear.
