if so then here is the question: What type of verb is the underlined word in the sentence? Popcorn pops loudly inside our new electric popper. A. intransitive B. transitive

OpenStudy (zale101):

that's transitive, because this sentence is written in the passive voice if the sentence was "Popcorn pops loudly inside" then it's intransitive "

OpenStudy (zale101):

here's an example of transitive and intransitive After we eat at my house, we can go outside. (intransitive) After we eat 'our hamburgers', we can go outside. (transitive)
