Identify the sentence pattern. jill bought a new dress for the party. a) subject-verb b) subject-verb-direct object c) subject-linking verb-predicate noun d) subject-linking verb-predicate adjective e) subject-verb-indirect object-direct object

B) subject-verb-direct object

Explanation:

What follows is a description of each of those elements: Subject refers to the person or thing that performs the main action of the sentence, or the person or thing described or dealt with; a verb indicates action, and a direct object is a noun or a pronoun that receives the verb in the sentence or that is affected by it and that can be identified by answering the “what?” or the “who?” questions.  

In the sentence, “Jill” is the subject because it is the doer of the main action (or verb) of the sentence, which is “bought”, and “a new dress” is the direct object because it receives the verb and it also answers the question “What did Jill buy for the party?”

Furthermore, “for the party” is an adverb phrase because it provides information on why the new dress was bought for. So we have that the sentence has the following construction:

Subject + verb + direct object + adverb phrase

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
