attend 是及物动词吗

1. attend在此处是及物动词。

2. 从此句的结构就可以明显看出。
非谓语结构attended by over five thousand people的逻辑主语就是句子的主语the meeting.
如果变成谓语结构的句子即：
The meeting was attended by over five thousand people.
再变成主动句即：
Over five thousand people attended the meeting.

3. attended the meeting即是典型的动宾结构，那当然说明attend在此题中是及物动词。
