Question

WILL MEDAL AND FAN
What type of verb is the underlined word in the sentence?

The clown entertained the child.

A.
intransitive

B.
transitive

Answer 1

Transitive verbs require an object. For example, filled is a transitive verb and the cup is the object in the sentence She filled the cup. It doesn't make much sense to have filled without an object. She filled is incomplete.
Here are some examples of transitive verbs:

They designated a hitter.

The clock struck one.

I want candy.

He carried the bag.

Jose thanked Wayne

Intransitive verbs don't take an object. Here are some examples of intransitive verbs:
He ran.

They napped.

The dog barked.

Blair gloated.

Clarissa winked.
