In the following quotation all of the verbs are printed in _italics_.
Determine whether they are complete or incomplete verbs. If incomplete,
determine whether they are transitive or copulative verbs. Draw a line
under the object of every transitive verb and two lines under the
complement of every copulative verb. Remember that sometimes we have
several words combined into a verb phrase and used as a single verb.
Watch for the verb phrases in the following, as for example: _must be_,
in the sentence, _Labor must be free_.
The history of man _is_ simply the history of slavery. Slavery
_includes_ all other crimes. It _degrades_ labor and _corrupts_
leisure. With the idea that labor _is_ the basis of progress _goes_
the truth that labor _must be_ free. The laborer _must be_ a free man.
There _is_ something wrong in a government where honesty _wears_ a rag
and rascality _dons_ a robe; where the loving _eat_ a crust while the
infamous _sit_ at banquets.
_Talk_ about equal opportunity! Capitalism _ties_ a balloon to the
shoulders of the rich child; it _ties_ a ball and chain to the feet of
the poor child; and _tells_ them that they _have_ an equal
opportunity!
Once the master _hunted_ for the slaves, now the slave _hunts_ for a
master.
