Do you actually think this is an unacceptable and grammatically incorrect way of phrasing these provided options?
> The "apple" in "give apple" is a direct object without preposition
My apologies, you're correct. I mistyped—I should have said "indirect object". That does not negate any of the rest of what I said.

That’s Sierra-like poorly phrased English to save characters in a constrained support. Completely incorrect in any context, inacceptable when you don’t have to save bits. It’s only somewhat understandable because the zero article is used with proper name. Actually I find it interesting that you found the need to capitalise.
