The sentence is built around the simple subject “dad” and simple predicate “gave.” It also contains both a direct object “lunches” and indirect object “us.”

Answer 1

The last option.

Main clause: "dad gave us our lunches…" — simple subject = "dad", simple predicate (verb) = "gave". "Us" is the indirect object and "our lunches" (or "lunches") is the direct object. The other phrases are subordinate/participial or adverbial modifiers.
