What do you think?
I think 1. is transitive
2. is transitive
3. transitive
4. transitive

?
The first is wrong. The other three are right.

Ask "what" or "who" after the verb. If the sentence contains an answer, the verb is probably transitive because it has a direct object.
why is one not transitive? If I ask what is related I get wheat, barley, oats???
I get it...if I ask related what? doesn't make sense. Related who, doesn't make sense.

Thanks
You're welcome.
