Decide whether each underlined word is a direct object or an indirect object.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The underlined words are;

1. Ancestors- direct object

2. Homes- direct object

3. Children- Indirect object

4. Relatives- Indirect object

Explanation:

The direct object is the noun that receives the action performed by the verb. It answers the question of who or what. In the first question, if we ask the question, "Who do the Chinese honor?" The answer will be, "their ancestors". For the second question, if we also ask what families do to keep away bad luck, the answer will be to clean their homes. ]

An indirect object receives the action performed by the direct object. The action is performed to or for the indirect object. Who do people give red envelopes filled with money? Answer: to the children. Who do families wish fortune, health, and happiness? Answer: to their relatives.

Identify whether this sentence is written in active or passive voice. Spectators filled the stadium

Paul [167]

Answer:

Active.

Explanation:

First one must recognize the difference between active versus passive voice. Active voice is where the subject is put before the predicate, and passive is where the predicate ie put before the subject.

Example:

Sally drove her car. --> Active voice, because subject is first.

Subject predicate

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The car was driven by Sally --> Passive voice, because predicate is first.

predicate Subject

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Furthermore, you can break down the predicate into the object and action. Using the same example below...

Sally drove her car --> Active, because subject is first.

subject action object

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The car was driven by Sally--> Passive, because action and object are first.

Object action Subject

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In your example, your subject (Spectators) are first and your action and object (filled the stadium) are second. Therefore, it is active voice. (also, remember that your action and object can be combined to form the predicate.)

Hope this helps!

Perris drafts this paragraph for his analysis

Lilit [14]

The correct answer is C. Perris quotes textual evidence that supports his thesis.

The analysis Parris is trying to make is that it's difficult to decipher the Rosetta Stone. To support this idea, he uses details from the text to explain how difficult it is - by mentioning scholars that have failed, despite their varying methods.
