Question

hoose the best answer. which of these sentences has an intransitive verb? romy never swam in the ocean. stephanie found it later. paul returned the tools, today. i lost my cell phone at the park.

Explanation:

An intransitive verb is a verb that does not require a direct object to complete its meaning. Let's analyze each option:

• "Romy never swam in the ocean": The verb "swam" here does not have a direct object (the prepositional phrase "in the ocean" is an adverbial phrase, not a direct object).
• "Stephanie found it later": "found" has a direct object "it".
• "Paul returned the tools, today": "returned" has a direct object "the tools".
• "I lost my cell phone at the park": "lost" has a direct object "my cell phone".

So the sentence with an intransitive verb is "Romy never swam in the ocean".

Answer:

A. Romy never swam in the ocean
