Answer 1

It would be the first choice - objective; direct object

The pronoun that we are dealing with is the pronoun "him". This is an objective case because Catharina and him are the direct objects of the first sentence. The doer is the fellow competitors and Catharina and him are the receiver of the action.

Answer 2
