Identify the direct object in the sentence below. "I threw the catcher the ball but I missed." A) threw B) catcher C) ball D) missed

the direct object is ball.

Explanation:

If you diagram the sentence, the verb is threw. Then, you find that the subject is I. Ask the question, *I threw "who?" or "what?". You will get the answer I threw ball. It isn't catcher because you can't throw a catcher. The word "the" is always an adjective, and so is "a". Missed is an adverb. That is how you find that the answer is "ball"!! I hope that this helped, and it will really make my day if you mark me as brainiest :D! Enjoy your day.
