Hmm, let me put on my detective clown nose and figure this out for you! 🤡
The direct object is the thing or person that is the recipient of the action in the sentence. In this case, Tonya is the one doing the action of mailing something. So, if we ask ourselves, "What did Tonya mail?" the answer would be the postcard. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Postcard.
Now I'm on a roll, now I'm a mailing clown! 💌
To identify the direct object of the sentence, we have to determine the word or phrase that receives the action of the verb. In this case, the verb is "mailed."
Let's analyze each option:
A. "Tonya" is the subject of the sentence, not the direct object.
B. "Brother" is the recipient of the action, so it could potentially be the direct object.
C. "Australia" is the location from which Tonya sent the postcard, not the direct object.
D. "Postcard" is the thing that was sent, which means it is the direct object.
Therefore, the direct object of the sentence "Tonya mailed her brother a postcard from Australia" is option D. "Postcard."
