It is a transitive verb, Just got it right on a test

Answer: D. Transitive Verb

 The verb built in the sentence 'Alexander the great built the city of Alexandria in Egypt' is a transitive verb because it needs an object, in this case 'the city of Alexandria'. This same verb (to build) can be used as intransitive in a different case: 'Are they going to build on this land? ', it does not need an object.
