The correct answer is Direct object
Explanation:
In sentences, it is common after the verb the entity directly affected by the action is mentioned. For example, in the sentence "Paul wrote a letter" the "letter" is the object affected by the action because this is the object written. Moreover, this grammatical object is known as the direct object and it includes the person or object directly affected by the action. For example, in the sentence "she called him" the direct object is the pronoun "him". Also, this differs from the indirect object because this receives the direct object. According to this, the correct answer is the direct object.
In the sentence, the figurative language is "like smokstacks".
