The underlined word in sentence 5, "him," is an indirect object.
To answer this question, we need to identify the underlined word in sentence 5 and determine its role in the sentence. To do this, let's break down the sentence:
"Many citizens would have given him their vote again, because he was so popular."
In this sentence, the underlined word is "vote." To find its role in the sentence, we need to identify what the word "vote" is referring to or what it is being done to.
In this case, the word "vote" is the direct object of the sentence. It receives the action of the verb "given." The citizens are giving their vote, making "vote" the direct object.
Therefore, the correct answer is: direct object.
