Explanation:

Question 46

To determine the indirect object in "Last week, our teacher assigned us a project about the planets", we recall that an indirect object receives the direct object or shows for whom/what the action is done. The verb is "assigned". The direct object is "project", and "us" is the indirect object (who received the project). "week" is a noun, "our" is a possessive adjective, "project" is direct object. So "us" is the indirect object.

In "By the project’s due date, we had created a video for our presentation", the direct object is what the verb "created" acts upon. "date" is a noun, "we" is the subject, "video" is what was created (direct object), "presentation" is an object of the preposition. So "video" is the direct object.

In Sentence 3 ("The research we did seemed unending, but it was interesting"), if the underlined word is an adjective (e.g., "interesting") following the linking verb "was", it functions as a predicate adjective (modifies the subject "research" via the linking verb). A predicate adjective describes the subject through a linking verb. Linking verbs (like "seemed", "was") connect subject to a descriptive word. "predicate adjective" matches this; "linking verb" is the verb itself, "predicate nominative" is a noun/pronoun, "indirect object" is not present here.
