C. This sentence places the object before the verb
D.This sentence has a subject followed by a verb and an object.

Answer 1

C. This sentence places the object before the verb

Step-by-step explanation:

"To which person" is an indirect object. It tells who is going to receive the action of submitting assignments. It helps to change the question to a statement. Even though it's in question form, the structure of the statement form is still the same. "We are supposed to submit our assignments to Blah Blah". (It also helps to replace the pronoun in the question with the actual answer.) In the statement form, we is the subject. The verb phrase is "are supposed". The direct object is "assignments" since the directly receive the action of the verb. They are the ones being submitted. The indirect object is "Blah Blah" or "To which person" because it receives the assignments.

Answer 2

C). This sentence places the object before the verb.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question, the given sentence exemplifies an interrogative sentence and therefore, it locates the indirect object('to which person') before the verb(are...supposed) in it. If the given question is to be converted in the statement form, then it must begin with the subject 'we' followed by the verb phrase 'are supposed' and the direct object 'assignments' which would further be followed by the indirect object 'to XYZ'. Since it is a question so the indirect object 'to which person' is placed before the verb which is preceding the noun. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
