D. ancestors. the indirect object precedes the direct object and tells to whom or for whom the action of the verb is done and who is receiving the direct object.
“Was” is the helping verb
“Taking” is the main verb
The correct answer is: Option A. Adopt the horses.
Given the context in the excerpt stating the individuals that would be "taking possession of the new horses" are official U.S. Marines, it can be inferred that this practice will take place within legal bounds, and therefore "stealing the horses" is out of context in this case. The intent of this activity is to use the horses as part of the Marines' activities, and as such, it is clear the Marines are planning to "adopt" the horses, not "borrow" them.
