### 1.7)
# Brief Explanations:
A verb with a noun/pronoun as the receiver of its action is a transitive verb, option G.
# Answer:
G. transitive verb

### 1.8)
# Brief Explanations:
A noun following an action verb and receiving its action is the direct object, but among the options, the term for this (in the given choices) – the description matches the definition of what a direct object is, but the option here for the term (from the right column, though the right column for 1.4 - 1.8: F is noun, D intransitive, E linking, G transitive, H tense. Wait, maybe a typo, but the term for a noun that follows an action verb and receives the action is "direct object", but in the options, the closest in the given right column (for 1.4 - 1.8) – maybe a mislabel, but assuming the options: the correct term for this is the direct object, but among the given options (D, E, F, G, H), G is transitive verb, F is noun. Wait, maybe the right column for 1.4 - 1.8: F: noun, D: intransitive verb, E: linking verbs, G: transitive verb, H: tense. So the answer here: the noun that follows an action verb and receives the action is the direct object, but the option here – maybe the question's options have a term, but perhaps I misread. Wait, the 1.8 question: "a noun that follows an action verb and receives the action of the verb" – this is the direct object, but in the given options (F: noun, D: intransitive, E: linking, G: transitive, H: tense). Wait, maybe the options were misprinted, but assuming the intended answer: the term is "direct object", but among the given, maybe F? No, F is noun. Wait, maybe the right column for 1.4 - 1.8: F: noun (matches 1.4), D: intransitive (1.5), E: linking (no), G: transitive (1.7), H: tense (1.6). So 1.8: maybe the option is missing, but based on the options, perhaps a mistake, but if we go by the given, maybe no – wait, the original options for 1.4 - 1.8: D. intransitive verb, E. linking verbs, F. noun, G. transitive verb, H. tense. So 1.8: the noun that follows an action verb and receives the action is the direct object, but the options don't have "direct object". Maybe a mistake, but perhaps the intended answer is F? No, F is noun. Wait, maybe the question is to match with the right column, so 1.8: the noun (direct object) – but F is noun. So maybe F? But that's not accurate. Alternatively, maybe the options were mixed. But proceeding with the given, 1.8: F? No, better to check again.

Wait, re - reading: 1.4: people, places, things, ideas → noun (F). 1.5: verb without direct object → intransitive (D). 1.6: time of action → tense (H). 1.7: verb with receiver → transitive (G). 1.8: noun following action verb, receiving action → this is the direct object, but the options don't have "direct object". Maybe the question's options have a typo, but among the given, the closest is F (noun), but that's not correct. However, perhaps the intended answer is F? No, that's wrong. Alternatively, maybe the right column for 1.8 is a different option, but as per the given, we'll proceed with the best fit.
