Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: The nominative case is typically the subject of a sentence. Consider this sentence: Who likes the Yankees? The word Who is in the nominative case because it is used as a subject. The objective case is used when the word is an object of a verb or preposition. Consider this sentence: Darla is the friend for whom we are waiting. Whom is in the objective case because it is the object of the preposition for.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Transitive verbs can take an object: I lay the blanket down. The blanket is the object in the previous sentence. The word lie is intransitive; it cannot take an object: I lie on the bed. In the previous sentence, there is no object.
