Good Work!

Question:
The company has been mailing George CD catalogues ever since he bought his stereo.
Answer:
The answer Indirect Object is correct.
Explanation:
"George" is an indirect object because it answers the question "to whom?" after the verb "has been mailing." "CD catalogues" is the direct object -- the thing that has been mailed -- and George is the recipient of the direct object.
