Question

What is the function of a transitive verb?

A) to direct action toward the subject of the sentence
B)to provide the sentence with an action verb
C)to direct action toward an object in the sentence
D) to provide the sentence with a linking verb

Answer 1

"to direct action toward the verb’s object" is the correct answer:)

Answer 2

I would definitely go with letter choice C. A doesn't make sense because the transitive verb depends on a direct object in order to exist, not the subject of the sentence. B can't be it, because the transitive verb is an action verb linked to the Direct Object, without the DO it is just an action verb. D doesn't even mention the purpose of the transitive verb. So C would definitely be correct. Hope that Helps.
