To pick the object in the sentences, do you differentiate between the object after the predicate verb and the object after a preposition?e.g. He insisted on being kept waiting. Can I say "being kept waiting" is used as an object? Or should I define exactly that that part is object of a preposition? i.e. if we are asked to identify the object, does it refer to object of the whole sentence only, as corresponding to the subject? Or should I also point out the object of a preposition?
And in the above sentence, the object of preposition is being kept or being kept waiting?
