- The Constitution of India does not reflect the views of its members alone. It expresses a broad consensus of its time.
- Many countries of the world have had to rewrite their constitution afresh because the basic values were not accepted by all major social groups or political parties. In some other countries, the constitution exists as a mere piece of paper. No one actually follows it. The experience of our constitution is different.
- Over the last half a century, several groups have questioned some provisions of the constitution. But no large social group or political party has ever questioned the legitimacy of the constitution itself.

Jayant Mishra answered |
Transitive verbs are not just verbs that can take an object; they demand objects. Without an object to affect, the sentence that a transitive verb inhabits will not seem complete.
Example : Please bring coffee.
In this sentence, the verb bring is transitive; its object is coffee, the thing that is being brought. Without an object of some kind, this verb cannot function.
Example : Please bring coffee.
In this sentence, the verb bring is transitive; its object is coffee, the thing that is being brought. Without an object of some kind, this verb cannot function.

a) The farmer grows wheat.
- This sentence contains the verb "grows," which is transitive because it requires an object ("wheat") to complete its meaning. Therefore, it does not have an intransitive verb.
b) The farmer grows.

Intransitive verb – fell off
An intransitive verb has two characteristics. First, it is an action verb, expressing a doable activity like arrive, go, lie, sneeze, sit, die, etc. Second, unlike a transitive verb, it will not have a direct object receiving the action.

EduRev GMAT answered |
a) The customer is buying this afternoon.
- The verb "buying" does not have a direct object in this sentence, making it intransitive. It indicates an action without specifying what is being bought.
b) They were crying all day long.
- The verb "crying" is intransitive because it doesn't have a direct object. It expresses an action that the subject is performing without acting upon an object.
c) The customer is buying pancakes.
- The verb "buying" is transitive here because it has a direct object, "pancakes." The action is being done to something (pancakes), which makes this sentence different from the others.
d) She giggled at the joke.
- The verb "giggled" is intransitive because it doesn't have a direct object. The phrase "at the joke" is a prepositional phrase, not a direct object.
Therefore, the only sentence with a transitive verb is c) The customer is buying pancakes.

Explanation:
A transitive verb is a verb that requires a direct object to complete its meaning. In other words, it is an action verb that transfers the action to the receiver or object of the verb.
Let's analyze the given options to identify the sentence that does not have a transitive verb:
a) We showed her the flower vase.
- "showed" is a transitive verb because it requires a direct object, which is "the flower vase."
b) The grocer is selling vegetables.
- "selling" is a transitive verb because it requires a direct object, which is "vegetables."
c) The grocer is selling this morning.
- This sentence does not have a transitive verb. "selling" in this context is an intransitive verb because it does not require a direct object to complete its meaning. It simply states the action of the grocer selling without specifying what is being sold.
d) The coach advised me to practice daily.
- "advised" is a transitive verb because it requires a direct object, which is "me."
Therefore, the correct answer is option C because it is the only sentence that does not have a transitive verb.
