The direct object in this sentence is "ball".
To identify the direct object in a sentence, you need to understand the basic sentence structure. In this case, the subject is "The object of the game in soccer," and the verb is "is." The direct object directly receives the action of the verb.
To find the direct object, ask yourself "what" or "whom" after the verb. In this sentence, the verb is "is," and you can ask "What is?" The answer to this question is "to get the ball into the goal."
Therefore, the direct object in this sentence is "to get the ball into the goal," not just a single word. So, the correct answer is "none" since none of the given options ("ball," "soccer," or "goal") is the direct object.
