You're correct

To identify the direct objects in these sentences, we need to identify the nouns or noun phrases that receive the action of the verb directly. In each sentence, we can ask "what" or "who" received the action of the verb.

1. Agba fed milk and honey to the newborn colt.
- Verb: fed
- Direct Object: milk, honey

2. Sometimes the playful colt bit Agba's fingers.
- Verb: bit
- Direct Object: Agba's fingers

In sentence 1, the direct objects are "milk" and "honey" because they are the things that Agba fed to the newborn colt.

In sentence 2, the direct object is "Agba's fingers" because they are what the colt bit.
