Question

Brazil, India, and a few African countries produce cashews. What is cashews in this sentence? direct object, indirect objects, predicate nominatives, predicate adjective?​

Answer 1

Answer:

direct object

Explanation:

Let's break this sentence down to the basic parts. Subject of the sentence is the doer, the answer to the question who?

In this example, subject is "Brazil, India and few African countries" because it performs the action, tells us who does the action.

Predicate is the verb. It tells us what the subject does. In this case we see that the subject "produces".

That only leaves us with "cashews". They answer the question "what is being produced" which makes them direct object.

Direct object denotes upon what the action is being performed.
