Sandy's throw to first base was short.
Only the prepositional phrase is correct.
Macrame always gives her a wonderful felling of restfulness.
You missed the direct and indirect objects.
Those mustard pickles taste too sour for me.
Sour is not a direct object.
Maine eastern Boundatory is the western edge of the Atlantic ocean.
Edge is not a verb. You missed the subject complement.
The minister called the old lady a saint.
There is no indirect object in this sentence. What about a subject complement?
The only car for him is one of those new GTOs.
You missed a prepositional phrase. One is not a verb.
The Committe elected george Chairman
No indirect object. What about a object complement?
The Gerrards consider their son a genius.
See above.
the committee elected george chairman

I hope these corrections help! Let me know if you have any other questions.
In the sentence "Sandy's throw to first base was short," you correctly identified "throw" as the verb and "Sandy's" as the subject. However, the linking verb in this sentence is "was," which describes the state (shortness) of the throw. The objective complement in this sentence is missing. To find the object complement, you would need a direct object to receive the action of the verb. In this sentence, there is no direct object. Lastly, you correctly identified "to first base" as the prepositional phrase.
In the sentence "Macrame always gives her a wonderful feeling of restfulness," you correctly identified "Macrame" as the subject and "gives" as the verb. Additionally, you correctly identified "of restfulness" as the prepositional phrase. However, the objective complement is missing. To find the objective complement, you should look for a noun or pronoun that further describes the direct object. In this sentence, there is no direct object.
In the sentence "Those mustard pickles taste too sour for me," you correctly identified "pickles" as the subject and "taste" as the verb. However, the word "sour" is not the direct object; it is an adjective describing the taste of the pickles. The direct object is missing in this sentence. The prepositional phrase "for me" is correctly identified.
In the sentence "Maine's eastern boundary is the western edge of the Atlantic Ocean," you correctly identified "the eastern boundary" as the subject and "is" as the verb.

In the sentence "The only care for him is one of those new GTOs," you correctly identified "the car" as the subject and "is" as the verb.

However, "George" is not an indirect object; it is the direct object. The indirect object is missing in this sentence. The prepositional phrase is missing as well.
