EnglishWord Classes
- AIntransitive verb
- BTransitive verb
- CDemonstrative verb
- DAdjective
Explanation
'Fought' takes a direct object — 'the wasps' (the ants fought whom? the wasps) — which makes it a transitive verb. An intransitive verb takes no object, so (A) is ruled out. 'Demonstrative verb' is not a grammatical category, and the word is not an adjective. Hence (B) Transitive verb is correct.
