Explanation:

An object in grammar is a part of a sentence that comes after the verb.

Example

Ravi ate an apple.

Direct object

A direct object is a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun that is directly affected by the action of a verb

Examples

I saw her in the bus. (‘her’ is the direct object)

Indirect object

An indirect object is a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun to which an action is done to. It is usually used after verbs.

Example

Give him the money. (‘him’ is the indirect object and ‘money is the direct object)

Answer 2

Answer:

The given sentences have no indirect objects but only they have direct objects.

A direct object directly receives the action of the verb and an indirect object receives the the action of the direct object.

Underlined words are seemed that they are indirect objects but they are actually not because they are started with prepositions ('with', 'for', 'to'), so they have turned into prepositional phrases and for that they can't be indirect objects.

An object is a part of a sentence. Usually it is placed after a verb and without it a sentence cannot be completed. To find an object in a sentence subject is asked by 'what', 'whom', 'where' and the reply is called object.

Example: I read a book. Here 'a book' is an object and it is also a direct object .

Following bold words are direct objects .
