Answer 2

Answer:

'The orator spoke the truth' is the correct answer.

Explanation:

'He spoke the truth' will make the verb a transitive verb. Hence it is the correct answer.

A transitive verb is one which has an object in the sentence. The two main components of a transitive verb are that it should have a doable action and secondly, that doable action should be in relation to an object.

Hence, verbs that are followed by objects are transitive verbs and those that are not followed by objects are intransitive verbs.
