Question

Would this be a noun clause as indirect object: Hippolyta gives Diana a golden lasso that compels whoever it holds to tell the truth? Is "truth" the direct object and "whoever it holds" the indirect object?

Answer 1

The direct object is "a golden lasso."

"Diana" is the indirect object.

Explanation:

Hippolyta gives Diana a golden lasso ...

This says

`"(Hippolyta)  ( gives )  ( a golden lasso )  (.. to Diana ...)"`
(. . subject...)   (. verb .)   (... direct object ..)  (indirect object)
