Read the sentence below and complete the instruction that follows.

Fellow competitors applauded Catharina and him for their freestyle vaulting routine.

Determine the case and function of the underlined pronoun.

objective; direct object

possessive; adjective

nominative; subject

nominative; appositive

Since there is no underlined item in the question, I will assume that the pronoun that we are dealing with is the pronoun HIM. This is an objective case because Catharina and him are the direct objects of the first sentence. The fellow competitors are the doer and they are the receiver of the action making them the direct object.
