Question

Choose the option which is NOT the object of the verb in the given sentence:
We ate steak, mashed potatoes and mushroom mousse for lunch.

• A. ate
• B. steak
• C. mashed potatoes
• D. mushroom mousse

Answer 1

The correct option is A ate

The object is the person or thing that receives the action in a sentence. In the given sentence, the steak, the mashed potatoes and mushroom mousse are all recipients of the verb "ate", hence options B, C and D are incorrect. We need to choose the option that does not contain the object, "ate" is a verb hence the correct option is A.
