How is the underlined pronoun used in the sentence?



I received a five-page letter from him in the mail yesterday.


A.

direct object


B.

object of a preposition


C.

indirect object

Verified Answer :

The pronoun here is "him" and it's in the phrase "from him". It's neither a direct object (which is "a five-page letter" here) nor an indirect object (which would be "to someone).

It's following a preposition "from" so the correct answer is B- oobject of a preposition.
