How is the underlined gerund phrase used in the sentence? After that day, his greatest passion became restoring old cars. A. object of a preposition B. direct object C. subject D. predicate nominative "restoring old cars"

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

So became is the verb and the gerund phrase, restoring old cars, is receiving all of the action. So what does that?

OpenStudy (king.void.):

A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or D maybe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idrk

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb or shows the result of the action. It answers the question "What?" or "Whom?" after an action verb. An action verb with a direct object is called a transitive verb. The direct objects on this page are italicized.
