Since objects are always nouns or pronouns, what do you think?
A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action described by the verb.
Also, calypso queen 09, you described an indirect object not a direct object since direct objects are never found in prepositional phrases whereas indirect objects are because they answer the questions "to whom?" "for whom?" or "to what?"

You have posted all of your homework I think!! I keep seeing your questions here.
Well, the answer is NO. And calypso queen got it wrong also -/ to the parking lot/ is a prepositional phrase, not a direct object. Sorry Caly.
Why?? Because an object must be a person, place or thing, abstract or otherwise. AWAY is none of the above. So there is NO direct object in your sentence.
Verbs are words that DO something! Sing, breath,m seem, appear, shout. . .stuff like that.
Now, get your grammar book out, and study young lady. I will help, but not DO your homework.

no, there is no direct object in this sentence. if there was though, it would be where you walked away to. if the sentence was "i walked away to the parking lot", the parking lot would be the direct object

No, a verb is a verb.
