Explanations 

#21

Indirect objects are nouns or pronouns that identify to whom or for whom the action of the verb is performed, as well as who is receiving the direct object. Indirect objects are seen infrequently. In order to have an indirect object, there is a direct object.
 
Example: Joe threw the ball.
Joe is the subject-he is the one doing the throwing.v
What did Joe throw? The ball is the direct object because it
receives the action-it is the thing that Joe threw.

Example: Quinn ate cereal for breakfast.
Quinn is the subject-he is the one eating.v
What did Quinn eat? The cereal is the direct object because it
receives the action-it is the thing that Quinn ate.

Number 21 refers to line 26.
