The object in the sentence is 'happy', a predicate adjective (also called a subject complement), an adjective that follows a linking verb that restates the subject (Jerry = happy).
Hat is the direct object. It's what was handed. Man is the indirect object.
A direct object sentence includes a verb that directly acts upon the object. In a sentence like "She bought a book," "a book" is the direct object because it receives the action of the verb "bought." You can use "them" as the direct object in a sentence like "He ate them for breakfast," where "them" represents the object that is directly affected by the action of eating.
Yes. In fact, a sentence must have a direct object in order to have an indirect object. (Note, however, that some consider the subject of a sentence in the passive voice to be an "implicit" indirect object, because it the sentence is changed to the active voice, the subject in the passive voice will often become an indirect object in the active voice.)
There is no direct object in that sentence.
The direct object in the sentence is "Report card," because it is the thing that is being given by the teachers to the parents.
In this sentence, "Jerry was so happy because of his promotion", the direct object would be "his promotion." This is because it is the recipient of the action from the verb. "Happy" is a predicate adjective describing the subject, Jerry. No indirect object is found within this sentence.
The verb does not have a direct object in the sentence, "She is insecure."
That sentence does not have a direct object. The verb needs to be transitive (a type of action verb) for the sentence to contain a direct object. "Is" is never a transitive verb because it's not an action. "Is" is a linking verb in that sentence.

The direct object of the sentence is 'them'.Basically, the direct object of the sentence is the object that is directly affected; that is, it is the most important object of a sentence.E.g. 'I drank the bowl of soup'. Bowl is the direct object because the action (drank) directly affects the bowl. Soup is an extra noun that adds more detail, but its not needed for the sentence to be complete.
