Read the sentence. Unfazed by the morning frenzy before school, dad gave us our lunches before we left. Which best describes the sentence? The sentence is built around the simple subject “school” and simple predicate “left.” It also contains an indirect object “us,” but not a direct object. The sentence is built around the simple subject “morning” and simple predicate “left.” It also contains a direct object “us,” but not an indirect object. The sentence is built around the simple subject “frenzy” and simple predicate “gave us.” But, it does not contain either a direct or indirect object. The sentence is built around the simple subject “dad” and simple predicate “gave.” It also contains both a direct object “lunches” and indirect object “us.”

Answer: The sentence is built around the simple subject "dad" and the simple predicate "gave." It also contains both a direct object "lunches" and indirect object "us"

Explanation: The first option is nonsense: school is not a subject, "left" is a simple predicate but not of the main clause, and the sentence does contain a direct object (lunches). The second option is wrong too, because the word "morning" is acting as an adjective to the word "frenzy," not as a subject, and the indirect object is actually "us." The subject is not "frenzy" either as the third option suggest. Only the last option is correct.
