Answer:

3. Indirect object

Step-by-step explanation:

The word hostess is used as an indirect object in the sentence. In this case, the hostess is the indirect object because it receives the direct object, in this case, the hat.

On the other hand, the direct object is the one that receives the action of the verb and answers the question what? or whom?.

For example: Allison handed in her homework.
