I'm kind of confused as to what you're asking, but this looks like an outline to me. It's easier to see if you lay it out like this:
Introduction
I. Hook: You see them everywhere you look, sometimes out playing or other times in a house.
II. Topic sentence: three areas of information about cats.
A. Cats are very intelligent animals.
B. Cats give off tail signals.
C. Cats are territorial animals.
See? It seems like a plan for an essay, so the correct answer would be D. outlining.
The correct answer is A) us; indirect object.
The pronoun has to be us because we are looking for an object, and we is a pronoun used for a subject.
Also, it is indirect object because when there are two objects in a sentence, the rule is that the first object is indirect, and it is followed by a direct object. The direct object in this sentence is the old newspapers, which means that the indirect object is John and us.
