1 Explanation: Birthday present is the direct object, being the entity that is brought. Sonia is the indirect object (it’s the correct answer), as she is the recipient of the birthday present. We is the subject, acting for bringing.
2 Explanation: “Message” is the direct object, being what is sent. “You” is part of a dependent clause, not directly relevant to the main action. “Me” is the indirect object, indicating to whom the message is sent (it’s the correct answer).
3 Explanation: “The book” is the direct object, the item being lent. “Khan” is the subject, acting as lending. “Barden” is the indirect object, receiving the book (it’s the correct answer).
4. Explanation: The sentence structure here shows “baked” as the action, “cake” as what was baked (direct object), and “her” as the person for whom the cake was baked (indirect object).
5. Explanation: In this sentence, “give” is the action, “keys” are what is given (direct object), and “brother” is the one receiving them (indirect object). The “car” specifies which keys are being given but does not receive the action directly.
