What is the direct object of The Criminal is adversary to the policeman?

There is no direct object. There are two types of verbs: action verbs and being verbs. Being verbs are verbs of being, they are words like "is", "am", "was", "be", and their variations, like "have been", etc. They don't have direct objects. Action verbs are all the other words, that do have actions. The object of that action is the direct object. So, if the verb is making a statement of being, then there is no direct object, and the verb is a verb of being, like "is".


What statements contain a variable Check all that apply.?

Statements that contain a variable typically include expressions or equations where a symbol (often a letter) represents an unknown or changing value. For example, equations like "x + 5 = 10" or expressions like "y = 2a + 3" contain variables (x, y, a). In contrast, statements with fixed numbers, such as "5 + 3 = 8," do not contain variables. To identify variable-containing statements, look for instances of letters or symbols that are not assigned a specific numerical value.
