[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To identify the direct object in the sentence, you need to ask the question "whom" or "what" after the verb. In this case, the verb is "mailed." So you would ask, "mailed whom" or "mailed what?" In the sentence, the answer to that question is "postcard." Therefore, the word "postcard" is the direct object of the sentence.
