[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine the word that best describes the underlined word, "the shelter," in the sentence, you need to identify its grammatical function.

In this sentence, "the shelter" is the recipient of the action. The volunteers provided something to the shelter, which makes it an indirect object. The indirect object answers the question "to whom?" or "for whom?" in relation to the action of the verb.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2. indirect object.
