Answer 1

Answer: Aunt Josie, will you take me to school in the morning?

Explanation: The comma comes immediately after a name, so we know it must be a direct address. Another way to identify a direct address is to think from the speaker's perspective. In this sentence, the speak is talking to their aunt directly, so it is a direct address.
