It is transitive.

Answer 2

There are two kinds of verbs - transitive and intransitive verbs.

Explanation:

• "I heard a loud cry." -Transitive verb.
• The verb here is 'heard'.
• Transitive verbs are those verbs that have an object. Intransitive verbs are those verbs that do not have an object.
• The verb 'heard' has an object 'a loud cry.'
• For the question -what did I hear- the answer is 'a loud cry'. So this is the object for the verb 'heard'.
• Hence the verb here is transitive verb.
