Answer:

D. After my sister made her rude comment, she cackled like the Wicked Witch of the West and flew away.

Explanation:

An allusion is an indirect reference to an idea, subject, thing or person from an unrelated context. These references are usually made to contexts that are common or well-known and that the reader is likely to be familiar with. In this example, the reader makes an allusion to the book <em>The Wizard of Oz</em> by talking about one of the characters: the Wicked Witch of the West.

Help before 2:00 PLEASE confused about indirect object, direct object, and object of a preposition!

Rudiy27

Ok!
An indirect object receives the object and comes between the verb and the direct object. For example, "I gave her a flower". In the sentence, "her" is the indirect object because "her" is receiving the object, "flower."
A direct object receives the action of the verb. For example, "She needs help". In the sentence, "help" is the direct object because it receives the action, "needs". It is what is needed.
Another example: "I like cake." "Cake" is the direct object, because it receives the action, "like".
The object of the preposition follows the preposition. "At school, I took a test."
In this sentence, "school" is the object of the preposition because it describes where and completes the preposition.
I hope this helped! If you're still confused, just send me a message! :)
