Which of the following statements about indirect objects is correct?

English
1 answer:
oksian1 [2.3K]4 years ago
7 0

C. It is the person or thing to or for whom the verb's action is done.

Option C is correct because if we look at the sentence: I bought Alex shoes. The indirect object is Alex. Alex is the person to or for whom the shoes were bought. Option A is not correct because of the sentence: He bought himself groceries. An indirect object tells who the direct object is for. In this sentence the groceries (direct object) is for himself. This proves A wrong. Option B is not correct because of the sentence: I bought groceries. The direct object is groceries and there is no indirect object. Option D is also wrong because of the previous sentences. The indirect object is almost never before the verb in the sentence.

Why did Rusesabagina write An Ordinary Man?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

This is a book about humanity at its very worst and how an ordinary man can affect us with the power of words. In Rwanda in 1994, Hutus murdered 800,000 people, mainly Tutsis, in 100 days - a rate of more than five lives per minute. To be shot rather than be dismembered by machete before your screaming family was a mercy.

I feel like the answer could be either direct or indirect, because you need a direct object to have an indirect object, and there is both in this example.

What is an example of personification?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

c. The mist rolled over the trees in the mountains.

Explanation:

A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).

In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.

Personification involves intentionally attributing life, human characteristics (qualities) or feelings and emotions to inanimate objects i.e non-living things.

<em>An example of personification is saying, the mist rolled over the trees in the mountains. Thus, the object or thing which was personified is "mist" because it is an inanimate object (a non-living thing) but was being described as rolling over the trees.</em>

<em>In reality, inanimate objects (non-living things) such as mist, balloons, tables, pencils, chair, wrist-watch, etc., do not possess the ability to roll.</em>
