Question

Pick out the object of the verb in the given sentence:
The children built a castle with sand.

• A. The children
• B. built
• C. a castle
• D. with sand

Answer 1

The correct option is C a castle

The object is the person or thing that receives the action in a sentence. In the given sentence, "castle" is the recipient of the action "built", hence it is the object and option C is correct. "The children" is the subject and "built" is the verb, hence options A and B are incorrect. "With sand" is a prepositional phrase, it is not the recipient of the action "built", hence option D is incorrect.
