Which personal pronoun correctly completes the sentence? What is its use? With great pride, Elizabeth showed __________ her book of short stories. A. them; indirect object B. they; indirect object C. them; direct object D. they; direct object

KjSaif (kjsaif):

help please

OpenStudy (hannaha):

The indirect object (IO) tells us where the direct object (DO) is going. So the book is the direct object and the missing word is an indirect object. Also we can tell from the sentence structure we need to use "them" instead of "they"

OpenStudy (hannaha):

Does that make sense?

KjSaif (kjsaif):

yes

OpenStudy (hannaha):
