3. a direct object answers the question \what?\ or \whom?\ it follows a transitive verb. underline the direct object. the democratic candidate received votes from most of our district.

Explanation:

1. Possessive pronouns indicate ownership. From the list, "my", "their", "your", "his", "our", "her", "its" are possessive pronouns.
2. According to punctuation rules for quotes, the corrected sentence is: "Now that you have visited the library," said Helen, "you will know where to find what you are looking for."
3. "Vacation" should be lowercase as it's not a proper - noun here, and "yellowstone park" should be "Yellowstone Park" (proper - noun capitalization). Editing marks could be a lowercase symbol for "Vacation" and a capitalization symbol for "yellowstone".
4. An independent clause has a subject and a verb and can stand alone. In "Although it was late, Dad ordered a pizza", "Dad ordered a pizza" is the independent clause as it has a subject "Dad" and a verb "ordered" and can be a complete sentence on its own.
5. In "The democratic candidate received votes from most of our district", the direct object of the verb "received" is "votes" as it answers the question "What did the candidate receive?".

Answer:

1. my, their, your, his, our, her, its
2. "Now that you have visited the library," said Helen, "you will know where to find what you are looking for."
3. lowercase "V" in "Vacation", capitalize "y" in "yellowstone"
4. Dad ordered a pizza
5. votes
