Example 1: Dennis and Susan ate omelets for breakfast.
The subject is “Dennis and Susan,” and the verb is “ate.” Next ask yourself the question “who or what?” about the verb “ate.” What did the subject, Dennis and Susan, eat? They ate omelets. Therefore, the direct object is “omelets.”
Consider the following example to find the direct object that follows a clause or phrase:
Example 2: Sophia hates when her father lectures her about her grades.
The subject is “Sophia,” and the verb is “hates.” Next ask yourself the question “who or what?” about the verb “hates.” What does the subject, Sophia, hate? She hates “when her father lectures her about her grades.” This subordinate clause (a combination of words that contain a subject and a verb, but do not form a complete sentence) is the direct object of the sentence.

As used in this epigram, "nomadic" is modifying the noun "longings".
Explanation:
This question is tricky because <u>the word order in the poem is inverted. In English, the adjective is placed before the noun it modifies</u>: beautiful girl, blue sky, bright eyes, etc. But here, the author has chosen to place the adjective "nomadic" after the noun it refers to, which would be "longings". What the epigraph means is that our old nomadic longings, that is, that desire we have to move from one place to another, which we inherited from our ancestors, will burst out if we stay in one place for too long.
The poem by John Meyers O'Hara is used as an epigraph (short quotation) at the beginning of "The Call of the Wild", a novel by Jack London.
