Identify the main verb and its arguments

The sentence is: "As part of my presentation, I read my class the final stanza of the poem and then performed a critique."
The main verb in the first clause is "read." The subject is "I."

Distinguish direct and indirect objects

A direct object receives the action of the verb directly (What did I read?).
An indirect object is the recipient of the direct object (To whom or for whom did I read it?).

• What was read? "the final stanza of the poem" (Direct Object).
• To whom was it read? "my class" (Indirect Object).

Evaluate the given options

• "class": Receives the direct object ("stanza"). This is the indirect object.
• "stanza": The thing being read. This is the direct object.
• "poem": Part of the prepositional phrase modifying "stanza."
• "critique": The direct object of the second verb "performed."
