OpenStudy (annie12m):

@bnbaxter @TheSavior

OpenStudy (flcon04):

I can help!

OpenStudy (annie12m):

ok plz do!

OpenStudy (flcon04):

What do you think the answer is? Any choices you can eliminate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is my guess for now

OpenStudy (flcon04):

@TheSavior giving direct answers is against code of conduct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

although, that sounds kind of wrong...

OpenStudy (flcon04):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wasnt an answer, just a guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And I don't think that it is D. But if you read them out loud some of them don't sound correct

OpenStudy (annie12m):

i believe him is correct

OpenStudy (flcon04):

@annie12m Yes him is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but there are two hims

OpenStudy (flcon04):

That leaves A and C.

OpenStudy (annie12m):

ok now we need to see if object of a preposition or direct object is right

OpenStudy (flcon04):

direct object definition -a noun phrase denoting a person or thing that is the recipient of the action of a transitive verb, for example the dog in Jimmy fed the dog.

OpenStudy (flcon04):

whereas object of prepositons- A noun, noun phrase, or pronoun that follows a preposition and completes its meaning. The object of a preposition is in the objective case. A word group made up of a preposition, its object, and any of the object's modifiers is called a prepositional phrase.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, object of preposition sentences often have modifiers

OpenStudy (flcon04):

Now from this what do you think it is?

OpenStudy (flcon04):

@annie12m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case the modifier well could be "your party"

OpenStudy (annie12m):

im thinking

OpenStudy (annie12m):

wait sorry need bathroom, when i come back ill type your user so you know im back

OpenStudy (flcon04):

okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an object of the preposition is like house in the phrase "in the house"

OpenStudy (annie12m):

ok um back @flcon04 @bnbaxter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ex: At the kitchen counter At = preposition; the, kitchen = modifiers; counter = noun or the object of the preposition.

OpenStudy (annie12m):

ok i think it is direct

OpenStudy (flcon04):

correct it is direct object

OpenStudy (annie12m):

ty everyone! ill medal survivor sese suvivor medaled flcon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't "your" be a modifier though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I actually gave a medal to baxter, i think he gave the medal to flcon
