1. To identify the indirect object in the sentence, we need to understand the structure of the sentence and the role each word plays.
The sentence is: "For her birthday, Jody bought Alice an angora sweater."
An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that typically receives the direct object or benefits from the action of the verb. In this case, the verb is "bought," and it is important to identify the recipient of the item being bought.
In this sentence, "Alice" is the indirect object because she receives the direct object, which is the angora sweater.
So, the correct answer is B. Alice.
2. To determine which sentence contains a correctly used modifier, we need to understand the function and placement of modifiers.
A modifier is a word or phrase that provides additional information about another word in the sentence. It is important for a modifier to be placed correctly and clearly modify the intended word.
Let's look at the options:
A. I feel (goodly) now that I'm over the flu. - The word "goodly" is not commonly used to describe feelings, so this is incorrect usage.
B. He spoke (sharply) to his sister. - This is a correctly used modifier as "sharply" describes how he spoke.
C. The sauce tasted (bitterly), and I couldn't swallow it. - The word "bitterly" is an incorrect modifier for the verb "tasted."
D. Joe looked (sad) at his broken bike. - This is a correctly used modifier as "sad" describes how Joe looked at his bike.
So, the correct answer is B. He spoke (sharply) to his sister.
3. To determine the most accurate statement concerning dictionaries and their use, we need to consider the general purpose and features of dictionaries.
Let's evaluate the options:
A. A syllable is a unit of sound. - This is true, but it doesn't specifically address dictionaries and their use.
B. A dictionary's word entry offers a fixed, permanent meaning. - This is generally true as dictionaries aim to provide definitions that remain fixed and consistent over time.
C. Foreign words are not included in English dictionaries. - This is not accurate as many English dictionaries include foreign words and their meanings.
D. Formal usage of a word is considered colloquial. - This is incorrect as formal usage is generally considered more proper and standard than colloquial usage.
So, the correct answer is B. A dictionary's word entry offers a fixed, permanent meaning.
