Answer:

- DO: Gerente (lo)

- DO: Hamburguesa (la)

- DO: Ensalada (la)

- DO: Entremeses (los)

- DO: Ellas (las)

Step-by-step explanation:

- Marcos busca al gerente

This sentence means that Marcos is looking for the manager, so manager is the Direct Objetc.

In spanish, the pronouns that replace the Direct Object are lo, la, las and los

In spanish we say: Marcos lo busca, where lo replaces the DO.

- ¿Probaste la hamburguesa?

Did you try, the ham. Direct Object will be ham, while the pronoun is la.

¿La probaste?

- Meriendo la ensalada

I snack the salad.

Salad is the Direct Object while la, is the pronoun.

- El camarero quiere servir los entremeses ahora

The waitress wants to serve the meals, now

Entremeses word, is the Direct Object but in this example, Direct Object can be replaced in two places in the sentence. The pronoun is los.

El camarero quiere servirlos, ahora

El camarero los quiere servir, ahora

- El artista quiere dibujar a ellas.

The artist wants to draw them.

Ellas (them) is the Direct Object. This is the same situation as before, while the Direct Object can be replaced in two places in the sentence. The pronoun is las.

El artista las quiere dibujar / El artista quiere dibujarlas.
