Read the excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart.” Oh God! what could I do? I foamed—I raved—I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder—louder—louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God!—no, no! They heard!—they suspected!—they knew!—they were making a mockery of my horror!—this I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! and now—again!—hark! louder! louder! louder! louder! What features of gothic literature does the excerpt include? Check all that apply.

What is the direct object in the sentence? My neighbor mowed his lawn even though it was raining.

Answers

I would say it's the lawn because that's the only object introduced in the sentence.
the direct object is lawn because it states whose lawn it is and neighbor is indirect because normally you have two neighbors and it doesn't state which one and the lawn is the neighbors which makes it direct because  we know whose it is

Read the passage from “The Adventure of the Speckled Band.”“And what do you think of it all, Watson?” asked Sherlock Holmes, leaning back in his chair.
“….if the lady is correct in saying that the flooring and walls are sound, and that the door, window, and chimney are impassable, then her sister must have been undoubtedly alone when she met her mysterious end.”
“What becomes, then, of these nocturnal whistles, and what of the very peculiar words of the dying woman?”
“I cannot think.”
”When you combine the ideas of whistles at night, the presence of a band of gypsies…the fact that we have every reason to believe that the doctor has an interest in preventing his stepdaughter’s marriage,…and, finally, the fact that Miss Helen Stoner heard a metallic clang…I think there is good ground to think that the mystery may be cleared along those lines.”

Miss Helen Stoner

a gypsy
