How is the underlined pronoun used in the sentence? mother reads him three stories before bedtime.
a. object of a preposition
b. indirect object
c. direct object

In the sentence:

Mother reads him three stories before bedtime.

The pronoun which is ‘him’ is used as a direct object.

A pronoun is used to substitute a noun. In order for it to substitute, it must have a clear antecedent.

Their answer is wrong, actually.

First, we know that it cannot be A (object of preposition) because their is no preposition.

Second, it cannot be C (direct object) because a direct object recieves the verb. In this case, stories recieves the verb reads.

So, it must be an indirect object (B) because an indirect object answers the questions to whom?

So the answer is (B) indirect object because him answers the question to whom?

appeal to ethos is your answer.

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x
