To determine whether the word in parentheses is a transitive verb, we need to understand what a transitive verb is. A transitive verb is a verb that requires an object to complete its meaning. In other words, it needs to be followed by a direct object to make sense in the sentence.
In the given sentence, the word in parentheses is "museum." To determine if it is a direct object (thus making the verb transitive), we need to ask the question "Randy visited what?" If the answer is "the museum," then the word in parentheses is a direct object and the verb is transitive.
In this case, since the answer to the question is "the museum," we can conclude that the word in parentheses ("museum") is a direct object, and therefore, the verb "visited" is transitive.
So, the correct answer to the question is:
- Yes
