Which word in the sentence is the indirect object? After the show, the performers made themselves a delicious dinner. A.themselves B.dinner C.performers D.show

Answers

The answer it's variant A.themselves because it's an indirect object in dative case

When you clear away all the ornaments, decorations, and cobwebs,
the sentence says "Performers made dinner."

Subject = performers
Predicate = made
Direct Object = dinner.

An indirect object in a sentence is quite rare. If there is one, then it's
who or what gets the direct object. In this sentence, "themselves"
get the dinner, so "themselves" is the indirect object.

What is a metaphor in English terms

Answers

a metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word'phrase is applied to an object/ action to which it is not literally suited.

examples:

the cats fur was a blanket of warmth.
'her eyes were fireflies.'

and a common metaphor:
brokenhearted.

the cat's fur isn't /actually/ a blanket, but it's body heat makes the cats fur warm and snuggly.

her eye's aren't /really/ fireflies, but they're very bright and shining (indicating happiness, perhaps?)

heat's don't /actually/ break into pieces, its just hurt and sadness (and a common metaphor.)

hope this helped!!
