Response
To solve part A (Identifying Verbs) and part B (Identifying Transitive and Intransitive Verbs), we analyze each sentence:
Part A: Identifying Verbs (Action/Linking/Helping)
- Sentence: "The game of lacrosse is popular in many countries."
- Verb: is (linking verb, connects subject to predicate adjective "popular").
- Label: L (Linking)
- Sentence: "Players move the ball with sticks with not food or one end." (Assuming typo: "not food" → "net?")
- Verb: move (action verb, shows what players do).
- Label: A (Action)
- Sentence: "They score goals in the other team’s goal."
- Verb: score (action verb, shows what "they" do).
- Label: A (Action)
- Sentence: "Only the goalies touch the ball."
- Verb: touch (action verb, shows what goalies do).
- Label: A (Action)
- Sentence: "The game was adopted from a Canadian Indian game."
- Verb: was (linking verb, connects subject to predicate "adopted...").
- Label: L (Linking)
- Sentence: "Lacrosse was originally a rough sport."
- Verb: was (linking verb, connects subject to predicate adjective "rough").
- Label: L (Linking)
Part B: Identifying Transitive/Intransitive Verbs
- Sentence: "In the past, tennis players usually wore white shorts or dresses."
- Verb: wore (transitive, because it has a direct object: "white shorts or dresses").
- Sentence: "Perhaps the color white represented purity to the upper class players."
- Verb: represented (transitive, direct object: "purity").
- Sentence: "Today the rules for tennis wear have changed."
- Verb: have changed (intransitive, no direct object; "for tennis wear" is a prepositional phrase).
- Sentence: "The development of the tennis shoe improved tennis wear."
- Verb: improved (transitive, direct object: "tennis wear").
- Sentence: "Today’s tennis shoes are crafted with comfort and support in mind."
- Verb: are crafted (passive voice, "crafted" is transitive in active voice, but here "with comfort..." is a prepositional phrase; the verb is part of a passive construction, but for intransitive/transitive, "crafted" (active) is transitive, but in passive, we focus on the main verb: "are crafted" (intransitive in structure here, but technically "crafted" (active) is transitive. However, in the sentence, there’s no direct object in the active sense, so are crafted is intransitive in this context? Wait, no—passive voice: the direct object in active becomes the subject. So "tennis shoes" is the subject (acted upon), so the verb "are crafted" is part of a passive verb phrase, and the action is done with comfort, so no direct object. So are crafted is intransitive here.
Final Answers (Part A Labels, Part B Transitive/Intransitive)
Part A:
- is - L
- move - A
- score - A
- touch - A
- was - L
- was - L
Part B:
- wore - Transitive
- represented - Transitive
- have changed - Intransitive
- improved - Transitive
- are crafted - Intransitive (or note passive voice, but in terms of transitive/intransitive, "crafted" (active) is transitive, but in passive, the structure makes it intransitive here as there’s no direct object in the clause).
(Note: For Part B, the key is to check if the verb has a direct object. Transitive verbs require a direct object; intransitive do not.)
