Answer:
She helped Jessica clean the stain on her new dress. She borrowed Travis's tie and gave it to Albert to wear.Explanation:
B. The sentence is incomplete because it lacks a complete predicate.
A complete predicate basically is what tells you what the subject (pirate) does. When looking at this sentence, a great deal of it is nonessential/parenthetical. Specifically, all that information is serving as an adjective clause describing the pirate. Let’s look at the sentence, now, with the nonessential/parenthetical in bold:
The pirate who sailed his ship in the Atlantic Ocean pilfering from British naval ships and irritating the British navy
Thus, we are still left with the question, “What did the pirate do?”
It’s A or B, but I would probably go with B
SARS-CoV-2 belongs to a family of single-stranded RNA viruses known as coronaviridae, a common type of virus which affects mammals, birds and reptiles.
In humans, it commonly causes mild infections, similar to the common cold, and accounts for 10–30% of upper respiratory tract infections in adults[4]. More serious infections are rare, although coronaviruses can cause enteric and neurological disease[5]. The incubation period of a coronavirus varies but is generally up to two weeks[6].
Previous coronavirus outbreaks include Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), first reported in Saudi Arabia in September 2012, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), identified in southern China in 2003[7],[8]. MERS infected around 2,500 people and led to more than 850 deaths while SARS infected more than 8,000 people and resulted in nearly 800 deaths[9],[10]. The case fatality rates for these conditions were 35% and 10%, respectively.
SARS-CoV-2 is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans. Although the incubation period of this strain is currently unknown, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that symptoms may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure[6]. Chinese researchers have indicated that SARS-CoV-2 may be infectious during its incubation period[11].
A transitive verb demands an object, such as in the following case: She is reading a book. The verb <em>to read </em>demands the direct object <em>a book </em>which is why it is transitive.
On the other hand, intransitive verbs do not need an object to complete them, such as in the case: She is sleeping.
In the sentence above, the verb <em>was </em>is a past tense of the verb <em>to be, </em>and it is used as a linking verb in the sentence, connecting the first part with the adjective <em>beautiful. </em>Since there is no object in the sentence, the correct answer is <u>intransitive</u>.
