Answer 24

The company offered a fifty-dollar rebate on every energy-efficient refrigerator bought during the month of June.

The subject there is COMPANY which is the topic or the person who is doing the action.
The verb there is OFFERED which is the action performed by the subject COMPANY.

A fifty-dollar rebate on every energy-efficient refrigerator bought during the month of June. This is what we call the prepositional noun phrase which is the object of the verb OFFERED.

What has been offered was rebate and rebate pertains to direct object of the transitive verb offered.
