<span>Read the excerpt from Montaigne's "To the Reader" and answer the question. Had my intention been to seek the world's favour, I should surely have adorned myself with borrowed beauties: I desire therein to be viewed as I appear in mine own genuine, simple, and ordinary manner, without study and artifice: for it is myself I paint. The metaphor implied in these lines suggests to readers that they will find Montaigne's writing style unadorned. To be "genuine, simple and ordinary manners" suggests an unadorned writing style reflectling his own modest behaviour.</span>
Even though you didn't underline anything, there is only one pronoun in this sentence - the word them.
The case of this pronoun is objective - it functions as an object in the sentence. It is really easy to determine this - all you have to do is ask the questions <em>whom </em>or <em>what. Whom did the designer dress in black and teal costumes? </em>And the answer is - <em>Them. </em>
This way you know that the pronoun is also the object; to be more specific, it is a direct object.
Therefore, the correct answers are case: objective; function: direct object.
