I'm sorry, but your answers are incorrect. Let me explain how to identify direct and indirect objects in a sentence.
A direct object is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb directly. It answers the question "Whom or what?" after the verb.
An indirect object is the noun or pronoun that receives the direct object or that benefits from the action of the verb. It answers the question "To whom or for whom?" or "To what or for what?" after the verb.
Let's go through each sentence and identify the correct label:
1. "Get that dog and those puppies out of here!"
- The verb is "get."
- The direct object is "dog and those puppies" because they are receiving the action of the verb directly.
- Therefore, the underlined word "puppies" in this sentence is a direct object. The correct label is D for direct object.
2. "Find yourself a goal in life."
- The verb is "find."
- The direct object is "goal" because it is receiving the action of the verb directly.
- The underlined word "yourself" is not a direct object in this sentence. It is a reflexive pronoun, which refers back to the subject of the sentence.
- Therefore, the correct label is D for direct object, there is no indirect object in this sentence.
3. "Did you make your hamsters and gerbil their own cages?"
- The verb is "make."
- The direct object is "cages" because it is receiving the action of the verb directly.
- The underlined word "hamsters" is not a direct object in this sentence. It is part of a noun phrase that modifies the direct object.
- Therefore, the correct label is D for direct object, there is no indirect object in this sentence.
4. "A lioness will teach her cubs the ways of the wild."
- The verb is "teach."
- The direct object is "ways" because it is receiving the action of the verb directly.
- The underlined word "cubs" is not a direct object in this sentence. It is part of a noun phrase that modifies the direct object.
- Therefore, the correct label is D for direct object, there is no indirect object in this sentence.
5. "Does the main computer send the whole network a message?"
- The verb is "send."
- The direct object is "message" because it is receiving the action of the verb directly.
- The underlined word "network" is not a direct object in this sentence. It is the indirect object because it benefits from the action of the verb.
- Therefore, the correct label is I for indirect object.
In summary, the correct answers are:
1. D (direct object)
2. D (direct object)
3. D (direct object)
4. D (direct object)
5. I (indirect object)
