    Susan is the president of the senior class.

    • Direct Object

    • Predicate Noun

    • Indirect Object

    Correct Answer
    A. Predicate Noun
    Explanation
    The given sentence "Susan is the president of the senior class" contains a linking verb "is" which connects the subject "Susan" to the predicate noun "president". The predicate noun renames or identifies the subject, in this case, Susan. Therefore, the correct answer is "Predicate Noun".

    Barack Obama is President of the United States.

    • Object of the Preposition

    • Direct Object

    • Indirect Object

    Correct Answer
    A. Object of the Preposition
    Explanation
    The given statement "Barack Obama is President of the United States" indicates that Barack Obama holds the position of President in the United States. In this sentence, "of the United States" is a prepositional phrase that functions as an adjective, providing additional information about the noun "President." Therefore, "Object of the Preposition" is the correct answer as it correctly identifies the role of "of the United States" in the sentence.

    • Appositive

    • Subject

    • Predicate noun

    Correct Answer
    A. Appositive
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "appositive" because an appositive is a word or phrase that renames or identifies another noun in a sentence. In this case, "Math" is being renamed or identified as the speaker's favorite subject.

  • 6. 

    My mom baked Susan a cake for her birthday.

    • Indirect Object

    • Direct Object

    • Predicate Noun

    Correct Answer
    A. Indirect Object
    Explanation
    In the given sentence, "Susan" is the recipient of the action performed by the subject "my mom." The verb "baked" is transitive, meaning it requires both a direct object (the cake) and an indirect object (Susan) to complete its meaning. Therefore, "Susan" functions as the indirect object in this sentence.

    Explanation
    The subject of a sentence is the person or thing that performs the action or is being described. In this sentence, "My teacher and I" is the subject because they are the ones who love to read mysteries. The other options, predicate noun and indirect object, do not accurately describe the role of "My teacher and I" in the sentence.
