- SSC MTS 2024 Vocabulary
Recognise the sentence with the correct transitive verb form of break.
A. The cyclone broke the window.
B.The window broke.
C. The cyclone caused the breaking of window.
D.The cyclone caused the broken window.Answer & explanation
Answer: C) A
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
• A transitive verb is a verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning.
• In the sentence “The cyclone broke the window”, the verb "broke" is transitive because it acts upon the object "the window".
• Let's analyse other options:
• B. The window broke. → "broke" is intransitive here; no object.
• C. The cyclone caused the breaking of window. → Grammatically awkward; not using the simple transitive verb form.
• D. The cyclone caused the broken window. → Passive construction; not using the transitive verb "broke" directly.
Hence, Option A is correct as it uses "broke" as a transitive verb properly.
