"Wanted" is the only verb that makes sense in this context, indicating that the subject desired or had a strong desire for all of them.Rate this question:

The main verb and the direct object are not normally separated.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In English grammar, the main verb and the direct object are typically not separated. The direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb directly. It usually follows the main verb immediately or is connected to it by a linking verb. Separating the main verb and the direct object can lead to confusion or change the meaning of the sentence. Therefore, it is generally true that the main verb and the direct object are not normally separated.Rate this question:
