Explanation:

In Spanish grammar, the direct object indicates who directly receives the action of the verb. To identify it in a sentence, we must make the following question:

¿Que + verbo? (What + verb?)

In this context, the Direct Object Pronouns replace a word or phrase, which in the sentence fulfills the function of Direct object. They are written before the verb, when it is conjugated.  

These pronouns are listed below:

1st person singular: Yo me

2nd person singular (informal): Tú te  

2nd person singular (formal): Usted lo/la  

3rd person singular: El/eso lo, Ella/esa la  

1st person plural: Nosotros nos  

2nd person plural: Ustedes(In latinAmerica) los/las/Vosotros(In Spain) os  

3rd person plural: Ellos/Ellas los/las

For example, in the sentence Buscas tu pasaje (You search your ticket) if we ask ¿Qué buscas? (What do you search?) the answer is el pasaje (the ticket). Hence, pasaje is the direct object, which is the 3rd person in singular eso (it), this means the direct object pronoun is lo:

So, according to the explanation above and following these rules, let's

In this sentence the direct object is el libro, which is the 3r person in singular eso (it). Hence the corresponding direct object pronoun is lo:

In this sentence the direct object is el partido, which is the 3r person in singular eso (it). Hence the corresponding direct object pronoun is lo.

Now, this sentence can be changed to Lo voy a ver or Voy a verlo, placing lo after the verb ver (to watch), and both are grammatically correct in spanish:

In this sentence the direct object is Luisa con su mamá, which is the 3r person in plural femenine ellas (they). Hence the corresponding direct object pronoun is las.

Now, this sentence can be changed to Las quiere dibujar or Quiere dibujarlas, placing las after the verb dibujar (to draw), and both are grammatically correct in spanish:

In this sentence the direct object is la llave, which is the 3r person in singular esa (it). Hence the corresponding direct object pronoun is la:

In this sentence the direct object is Tomás y yo, which is the 1st person in plural nosotros (we). Hence the corresponding direct object pronoun is nos:

In this sentence the direct object is Gerardo y Miguel, which is the 3rd person in plural ellos (they). Hence the corresponding direct object pronoun is los.

Now, this sentence can be changed to Los puedo oír or Puedo oírlos, placing los after the verb oír (to hear), and both are grammatically correct in spanish:
