The first is right. The second is wrong.

You've found the verbs. Now study these sites to find the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs.

Are gave and ran right
Ms. Sue
Yes.

So is only the sunny days question wrong? And for the first question is there a verb
Ms. Sue
You didn't identify whether the other verbs are transitive.

Of course the first sentence has a verb. What do you think it is?

1.none intransitive

3.opened transitive
4.gave transitive
5.ran transitive
oh 1. wonder intransitive
2.love intransitive
Ms. Sue
Yes, the verb in the first sentence is <i>wonder</i>. However, I was wrong, because <i>wonder</i> is a direct object. It's object is the dependent clause, "why Maria looks so happy."
First one is transitive?
Ms. Sue
Yes.
is the second one intransitive
Ms. Sue
Why do you think it's intransitive?

Because the verb which is love isnt directing anything
