Question

Which sentence correctly uses a pronoun in the objective case as an indirect object? They gave Team USA a standing ovation at the end of their performance. The crowd gave them a standing ovation at the end of their performance. Our team received a standing ovation at the end of our performance. Team USA received a standing ovation at the end of their performance.

Answer 1

Indirect object goes before the direct object if both of them are present in the sentence. The only such case is the second option, so the correct answer is - The crowd gave THEM a standing ovation at the end of our performance.
