Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. The instructions to the question read;

Identifying Completers for Action Verbs: Direct and Indirect Objects

Write the direct and indirect objects in the following sentences. If a sentence does not contain a direct or indirect object, write none.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, when we say "the direct object" we are referring to the thing that the subject acts upon. While "the indirect object" refers to another party or thing that receives the action indirectly been performed.

Hence, we can the following conclusions:

1. Emery and Dinah jogged steadily around the track.

Direct object = 'the track', Indirect object = none.

2. The Hellers met us at the restaurant.

Direct object = 'restaurant'', Indirect object = 'us'.

3. Heidi is telling the editor her series of story ideas.

Direct object = 'story', Indirect object = 'the editor'.

4. Give your brother some waffles and strawberries for breakfast.

Direct object = 'waffles and strawberries', Indirect object = 'your brother'.

5. The cousins gathered at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs.

Direct object = 'Broadmoor Hotel', Indirect object = none.

6. Their meeting gave each cousin many chances to visit with one another.

Direct object = 'visit', Indirect object = 'one another'.

7. Mr. Daleberg gave his speech another name.

Direct object = 'speech', Indirect object = none.

8. In California, people pick calla lilies at the roadside

Direct object = 'calla lilies', Indirect object = 'people'.
