In the sentence "My sister gave me a signed copy of the book," the underlined word "me" is an indirect object.
To identify the indirect object in a sentence, we need to understand the role of the words in the sentence. An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that receives the direct object or tells to whom or what or for whom or what the action of the verb is done.
Let's analyze the sentences to find the indirect object:
1. "Gore published An Inconvenient Truth a few years after he ran for president."
In this sentence, there is no indirect object. The verb "published" is transitive, but it doesn't have a direct or indirect object.
2. "My sister gave me a signed copy of the book."
In this sentence, the word "me" is the indirect object. It is the recipient of the action "gave." Therefore, this is the sentence where the underlined word is an indirect object.
3. "She said she preferred the documentary film."
In this sentence, there is no indirect object. The verb "preferred" is intransitive and does not have a direct or indirect object.
So, in the sentence "My sister gave me a signed copy of the book," the underlined word "me" is the indirect object.
