Part B: Identify the verb in each sentence. Then identify the direct object (DO) and the indirect object (IO).
Indirect Objects
The indirect object is the noun or pronoun that tells to whom or for whom an action is done.
In order to have an indirect object, a sentence must have a direct object.
The indirect object is usually placed between the action verb and the direct object.
IO = indirect object
DO = Direct object

Example:
The pitcher threw (V) Dave (IO) a fastball (DO).
What did the pitcher do? He threw - V, threw
What did the pitcher throw? A fastball - DO, fastball
Who received the ‘result’ of the fastball? Dave - IO, Dave

Final answer:

The analysis of sentences reveals their verbs, direct objects, and indirect objects by identifying the core elements of their structure, ensuring the sentences contain these elements, and considering the context for proper placement.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the verb, direct object (DO), and indirect object (IO) in the sentences provided, one must first understand the sentence structure. In a typical sentence containing an indirect object, the structure follows the pattern of Subject + Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object. Let's apply this to the sentences you provided:

  1. Gave (V) is the verb, the usher (IO) is the indirect object, and our tickets (DO) is the direct object.
  2. The doctor handed (V) Chris (IO) the prescription (DO).
  3. Mr. Lewis sold (V) us (IO) a set of encyclopedias (DO).
  4. You written (V) Andrea (IO) a note (DO) about the time of our arrival.
  5. The supervisor paid (V) the employee (IO) a high salary (DO).
  6. Experience should teach (V) us (IO) wisdom (DO).
  7. Who sent (V) Amy (IO) that long letter (DO)?
  8. Maria, show (V) us (IO) that magic trick (DO).
  9. I gave (V) the cashier (IO) the money (DO) for our tickets.
  10. A clever writer gave (V) us (IO) the story (DO) of Robinson Crusoe.

Notice that some sentences may need reordering to fit the traditional Subject + Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object pattern. Also, be verbs and linking verbs are not included in these sentences as they do not take an indirect object.
