Review: Transitive and Intransitive Verbs, Answer 1.1

Oops!

Question:
The letter carrier struggled up the hill, pulling a cart that had lost one wheel behind him.
Answer:
The answer transitive verb is not correct.
Explanation:
The verb struggled is used intransitively and does not have a direct object. The prepositional phrase up the hill acts as an adverb describing where he struggled.
