The team won the contest by an enormous margin.
Option 1: Intransitive verb
Option 2: Transitive verb
Option 3: Demonstrative verb
Option 4: Adjective
Correct Answer:
Transitive verb
Solution : The correct answer is option 2.
Explanation:
- Each verb has a maximum of five different forms.
- Let's examine the meanings of the following terms:
Transitive verbs, such as "like," "annoy," "sell," etc., accept one or more objects.
- An intransitive verb lacks a direct object, such as "arrive," "die," etc.
- The verb's root or base form, which is the infinitive form with the word "to" dropped, as in see, watch
- The verb's root or base form in the third person singular, such as sees or watches.
-The present participle form of the verb-is created by prefixing the root word with the suffix "-ing," as in seeing, watching.
- The verb's past/simple past tense, specifically its second form, such as saw or watched
- the third form of the verb, such as seen or watched, is the verb's past participle.
- The three verb tenses in the example are win, won, and won.
- The second option will be the right one because the verb in the sentence needs a direct object, which is the match.
