Answer 2

Answer:

1. Intransitive
2. Transitive

Explanation:

• A verb which consists of an object is called as a transitive verb.
• The object can be a noun, pronoun etc.
• A verb which does not have an object is called as an intransitive verb.
• The question 'what' can be asked to check whether a verb is transitive or intransitive.
• In the first sentence, an object is absent.
• Therefore, the verb is intransitive.
• On the contrary, in the second sentence, an object is mentioned i.e. the ball.
• As a result, the verb is transitive.
