Select the correct description for the words in bold.   an estimated 300 million television viewers worldwide watched the event. a. indirect object b. object complement c. direct object d. subject complement

C. Direct Object.

Explanation: In a sentence, the direct object is a noun, or a noun phrase that receives the action of the verb. To identify a direct object we can ask a "what question" to the verb. For example if we have the sentence: She eats cheese, we ask: what does she eat? and the answer will be the direct object, that in this case is "cheese." In the given excerpt, the word in bold "event" is the direct object because it is the answer of the question: what did the viewers watch?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

in my opinion, anyone should be allowed to marry as long as it's not going against any laws. though i kind of contradict myself because i know that in some states and countries, gay marriage isn't legal yet- hopefully you get my point.
