Yes, the word "drank" is a transitive verb in the given sentence.
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 a direct object to complete its meaning.
In the given sentence, the word in parentheses is "drank." To identify if "drank" is a transitive verb, we need to ask the question: What did Tom drink? The answer to this question will be the direct object.
In the sentence, it is mentioned that Tom drank "two milkshakes." Here, "two milkshakes" is the direct object, as it answers the question "What did Tom drink?" Since "drank" requires a direct object to complete its meaning, we can conclude that "drank" is indeed a transitive verb.
Therefore, the correct answer is "yes."
