Question

Choose the option that correctly identifies the verbs (transitive/intransitive) as used in the following sentence:
My father is going to drive(1) my friend to her house since he knows she can't drive(2) due to her illness.

• A. drive(1), drive(2) - transitive verb
• B. drive(1), drive(2) - intransitive verb
• C. drive(1) - transitive verb, drive(2) - intransitive verb
• D. drive(1) - intransitive verb, drive(2) - transitive verb

Answer 1

The correct option is C drive(1) - transitive verb, drive(2) - intransitive verb

An action verb with a direct object is transitive while an action verb with no direct object is intransitive. In this sentence, we would be understanding the usage of transitive and intransitive verbs. The two verbs that are given in the option are "drive(1)" and "drive(2)". "drive(1)" is a verb which is having an object. The object for this verb is "house". It is transitive. On the other hand, "drive(2)" is the other verb which is not having any direct object. It is intransitive

Thus the answer is option C
