Answer:
B. Direct Object
Explanation:
A direct object receives the action of a transitive verb. Thus, the infinitive verb <em>to swing</em> is undergoes the action of the verb <em>began</em>.
The rest of the options are incorrect. In the sentence given, <em>to swing</em> does not function as a main verb. Besides, a predicate noun or nominative follows the verb <em>to be</em> and gives information about the subject. Finally, the infinitive verb does not follow a preposition.
The correct answers are options:
<u>D) ”The foreign secretary wanted to be certain that this message reached von Bernstorff”</u>
<u>E) “He made arrangements for it to be carried aboard a U-boat”</u>

The correct answer is A.
In Wright's "The Man Who Was Almost a Man," a seventeen year old, wants to buy a gun to get the respect he feels he deserves and to show that he is no longer a child.
However, when he has to ask money to buy the gun, he decides to ask his mother instead of his father because he knows his father will immediately say no.
This reflects that Dave and his father do not have a close relationship since Dave doesn't feel that his father would listen to him and consider his request.
There are five elements of a plot: Exposition, conflict, raising action, climax, falling action and Resolution. From these elements, the one that approaches best to that excerpt is Resolution. The word "finally" can be a signal word that denotes the ending part and Resolution means that the conflict has been solved and indicates the ending, which it really makes sense, since after all the things happened in Jake's life, at the end "I expect we'll need three servings of bacon today" refering maybe to a happy ending.
