Question 4 options:
no
yes
no
No, the word "tuna" in parentheses is a noun, not a transitive verb.
To determine if the word in parentheses is a transitive verb, we need to understand the definition of a transitive verb. A transitive verb is a verb that requires an object to complete its meaning. In this case, the word in parentheses is "sandwich." To determine if "sandwich" is the object of a transitive verb, we need to identify the verb in the sentence.
The verb in the given sentence is "had." "Had" is a form of the verb "to have." In this context, "had" indicates an action performed by the subject, "she."
In this sentence, the word "sandwich" is not the direct object of the verb "had." Instead, it is a modifier that specifies the type of tuna. Therefore, "sandwich" is not a direct object and the word in parentheses is not a transitive verb.
Hence, the answer to the question "Is the word in parentheses a transitive verb?" is no.
