what is underlined.

iluvsoccer · Answer

Soil

misssmartiez · Answer

I believe so, since it is directly stated,

misssmartiez · Answer

A and C is obviously wrong.


It doesn't describe a noun, it IS a noun. It isn't an indirect item, like:

I am looking at that strange item.

item is indirect, since it isn't directly identified.

misssmartiez · Answer

It could be anything.


On the other hand, this is a simple sentence, and I think rake would be D. Soil A, though.

iluvsoccer · Answer

And in my book it says: A Direct Object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. 
Soil is a Noun and it receives the action of the verb which is, "Soil.' :)
