In these sentences, the direct objects 'him,' 'me,' and 'us' are the nouns directly receiving the action of the verb. While 'a prize,' 'a favor,' and 'the answer sheet' are the indirect objects as they exemplify the secondary or passive participant/recipient of the action performed by the subjects.
