Answer 1

The sentence is built around the simple subject “dad” and simple predicate “gave.” It also contains both a direct object “lunches” and indirect object “us.”

Unfazed by the morning frenzy before school is a prepositional phrase modifying gave. or dad. or something. but you don't need to know that and i'm stupid so let's move on.

Before we left is also a prepositional phrase. I'm still stupid so let's move on.

The subject is dad, verb is gave, and the direct object is lunches because it's what dad gave, it's the receiver of the action.
The indirect object is us because it's whom received the verb. Or something. I'm still stupid.

Answer 2

The option that best describes the sentence is D. The sentence is built around the simple subject “dad” and simple predicate “gave.” It also contains both a direct object “lunches” and indirect object “us.”

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of a sentence is the person, thing, place or idea that is doing something. In this sentence, dad is the subject.

The simple predicate is the verb that tells the action the subject is performing. Gave is he simple predicate of this sentence.

The direct object is the receiver of the action described by the verb, like lunches, and the indirect object refers to the person or thing for whom the action of the verb is performed, like us.

Therefore, sentence D is the correct option.
