To determine which of the sentences contains an object pronoun, we need to identify the word that acts as the object in each sentence. An object pronoun is a pronoun that receives the action of the verb or is the object of a preposition.
Let's analyze each sentence:
A. I gave her a gift for her birthday.
In this sentence, the underlined word "her" is an object pronoun because it functions as the recipient of the action "gave." The gift is given to "her."
B. You really should apologize to her.
In this sentence, the underlined word "her" is an object pronoun because it is the object of the preposition "to." The action of apologizing is directed toward "her."
C. I would like you to be my friend.
In this sentence, there are no object pronouns. The word "you" is a subject pronoun functioning as the subject of the sentence, and "my" is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership.
D. We returned our books to the library.
In this sentence, there are no object pronouns. The word "our" is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership, and "we" is a subject pronoun functioning as the subject of the sentence.
Therefore, the sentences that contain an object pronoun are A. "I gave her a gift for her birthday" and B. "You really should apologize to her."
