There seems to be no diagram provided for me to refer to. However, I can provide a step-by-step breakdown of the sentence structure:
1. Identify the main elements of the sentence:
- Subject: Aunt Ellie
- Verb: sent
- Direct Object: a beautiful kitten
- Indirect Object: me
2. Determine the word in quotes, which is "me."
3. Understand the sentence structure:
- Aunt Ellie (subject) sent (verb) a beautiful kitten (direct object) to whom? Me (indirect object).
Unfortunately, without a provided diagram, I am unable to point out the specific position where "me" should occupy in the diagram.
To diagram this sentence, you can start by identifying the parts of speech. Here's a breakdown:
- "Aunt Ellie" is the subject noun phrase.
- "sent" is the main verb.
- "me" is the indirect object.
- "a beautiful kitten" is the direct object noun phrase.
Now, for the diagram:
1. Draw a horizontal line.
2. Place "sent" on the line, slightly to the right.
3. Above the line, draw a slanted line pointing downward from "sent".
4. At the end of the slanted line, write "Aunt Ellie" to represent the subject noun phrase.
5. Below the line, draw a vertical line downward from "sent".
6. At the end of the vertical line, write "me" to represent the indirect object.
7. Draw another vertical line downward from the one representing the indirect object.
8. At the end of this line, write "a beautiful kitten" to represent the direct object noun phrase.
Here's how the diagram looks:
Aunt Ellie sent
|
me |
|
a beautiful kitten
Now, referring to this diagram, you need to select the letter of the position that the word "me" should occupy. Since "me" represents the indirect object, you'll select the position that corresponds to the vertical line directly below "sent". Therefore, the letter to select would be the one representing the indirect object, which would be the letter "C" (or the corresponding letter assigned to that position).
