Is it okay not to add an object after "up", "down" and "under"?
1.There is a mark ten feet up.
(The mark is on a tree)
2.They're looking for a box two feet down
3.They're looking for a box two feet under.
(The box is buried in the ground)
Q1) Are 1,2,3 sentences all correct?
Q2) I'd like to know whether it's okay that there is not any object after "up", "down", "under".
I mean, I am not sure whether it's correct not to add objects like "The tree" or "the ground" only when context is enough or regardless of the need of any objects, the sentences are fine.
