Which personal pronoun correctly completes the sentence? What is its use? Even though the Millers knew it would erupt, Old Faithful's geyser surprised ___________ every time. A. they; direct object B. them; indirect object C. them; direct object D. they; indirect object

OpenStudy (snopet):

Okay, first discard A and D because 'they' would not fit. Now, the direct object of a verb is the thing that is being acted upon, or the receiver of the action. Ex. "Paula gave a COOKIE" where cookie is the direct object because it is the receiver of the action (gave.) An indirect object is the recipient of the direct object. Ex, "Paula gave her SISTER a cookie" whereas sister is the indirect object as it is what the direct object (cookie) is being applied to. Got the answer now?
