Question

Identify the indirect object in the sentence below:
He had to pay the mechanic a large amount of money to fix his damaged car.

• A. He
• B. car
• C. money
• D. mechanic

Answer 1

The correct option is D mechanic

Indirect objects usually answer the question "who" or "whom" and are references to persons. Here "mechanic" is the answer to the question "to whom did he pay?", hence Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
