I know Ms. Sue already checked 6-10 but those 4 questions are my answers for re-do.

Answer 1

7 and 10 are wrong. The others are right.

Answer 2

7. love transitive
I don't know 10 is it none?

Answer 3

7 is correct.

10 -- the verb is ran and you're right it is not transitive -- so "none" is the right answer.

Answer 4

Can you explain how 10 is none and 7 isnt

Answer 5

You can often find the direct object by asking WHAT after the verb.

7. I love -- WHAT? -- sunny days
Love is transitive since it has a direct object -- days.

10. Cheetah ran -- WHAT?
Ran is not transitive since nothing answers the question WHAT? There is no direct object.
