the letter carrier brought my brother two large envelopes last monday
which word is the direct object in the given sentence?
a envelopes
b carrier
c two
d brother
a) envelopes.
The direct object in the given sentence is "envelopes" (option a).
To determine the direct object in the given sentence, we need to identify the noun or pronoun that is directly receiving the action of the verb. In this case, the verb is "brought" and it answers the question "what or whom did the letter carrier bring?".
Looking at the options:
a) "envelopes" is a noun and it is the direct object of the verb "brought".
b) "carrier" is a noun, but it is not receiving the action of the verb, so it is not the direct object.
c) "two" is an adjective, not a noun or pronoun, so it cannot be the direct object.
d) "brother" is a noun, but it is not receiving the action of the verb, so it is not the direct object.
Therefore, the correct answer is: a) envelopes.
