Question

is transitive and intransitive
​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think it's a transitive sentence.

Answer 2

Answer:

This is a transitive sentence.

Explanation:

• In a transitive sentence, a direct object is a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase that follows the verb and completes the meaning of the sentence by indicating the person or thing that receives the action of the verb.  
• A transitive verb is a verb that requires a direct object, which can be a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase.
• It is possible to use the passive voice in a sentence that already contains a transitive verb. The active voice cannot be converted into the passive form of a sentence if the sentence contains an intransitive verb. It is common practice to follow transitive verbs with either an indirect object or a direct object.
• After an intransitive verb comes either an adjunct or a compliment, depending on the context.
• In the given sentence, "her simple appearance" is the subject and "belied" is the verb. Since the subject and the verb are directly related, it is a transitive sentence.
