Answer:
“What nice weather we're having?" Just look it up!
A direct object is the part of the sentence that is somehow manipulated by the subject, and the type of the manipulation is described by the verb.

the direct object is "pumkins" - the correct answer is d.
A, because the meaning of a sentence can be made clear without the interjection ^-^
Hope I'm not too late! Good luck!
