Question

Which word in the sentence is a direct object?

Raheem fed a goat at the petting zoo.


A.
zoo

B.
petting

C.
goat

Answer 1

C. goat ........... medal? .......... fan me?

Answer 2

The goat. If we break it down, petting is an adjective describing the type of zoo, so we know that can't be right. Also, since petting zoo are being used as a phrase, we can safely assume neither one is the answer, since they are being split in the choices. In the future, remember that a direct object is one that is being acted up (ie, the verb is relating to that object).
