Explanation:

Define object pronouns

Using the Pronoun Case knowledge point, object pronouns act as the object of a verb or preposition (e.g., me, you, him, her, it, us, them).

Analyze the first sentence

"They" is a subject pronoun acting as the subject of the verb "were." There are no object pronouns here.

Analyze the second sentence

"Them" is an object pronoun acting as the direct object of the verb "felt."

Analyze the third sentence

"She" is a subject pronoun acting as the subject of "found." There are no object pronouns here.

Analyze the fourth sentence

"He" is a subject pronoun, and "his" is a possessive determiner. There are no object pronouns here.
