Question

Which sentence correctly uses a pronoun in the objective case as an indirect object?

They gave Team USA a standing ovation at the end of their performance.
The crowd gave them a standing ovation at the end of their performance.
Our team received a standing ovation at the end of our performance.
Team USA received a standing ovation at the end of their performance.

Answer 1

Answer: D

Indirect object goes before the direct object if both of them are present in the sentence. The only such case is the second option, so the correct answer is - The crowd gave THEM a standing ovation at the end of their performance.

Answer 2

Our team received a standing ovation at the end of our performance.
