In which sentence is the word books used as a direct object?

A. Please move those books off the piano immediately.

A direct object is preceded by a transitive verb, which in sentence A would be move. This verb is the action verb which answers the what or who question. In this case would be: What is going to be moved? The books off the piano...

The remaining sentences use the word books differently. Sentence B uses books as the subject; sentence C as an indirect object (the word shelves would be the direct object). Finally, sentence D uses books as a possessive noun.

The answer would be: A) Please move those books off the piano immediately.

An indirect object is the receiver of the action of a verb

So in this case, "Move" those books.


Hope this answer helps you:)!
