The direct object of a sentence is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. In the sentence "Tonya mailed her brother a postcard from Australia," the verb is "mailed" and it is being done to someone or something. So, we need to identify which noun or pronoun in the sentence is the recipient of the action.
Let's look at the options:
- Australia: Australia is the location from where the postcard was sent, but it is not the recipient of the action. So, Australia is not the direct object.
- Brother: Brother is the noun that receives the action of the verb. Tonya mailed the postcard to her brother, so "brother" is the direct object.
- Postcard: Postcard is the object that is being mailed, not the recipient of the action. So, "postcard" is not the direct object.
- Tonya: Tonya is the subject of the sentence, not the recipient of the action. So, "Tonya" is not the direct object.
Therefore, the correct answer is "brother" as it is the direct object of the sentence.
