    or use the layers menu and select the object on its sublayer
    or Ctrl-Alt-[
    or Ctrl-2 to lock the top item and then select the next item
    or Thomas' option.

    Perhaps other ways too...

    Another way is to go into outline mode:
    View -> Outline (cmd/ctrl+Y)
    Here you can see the outline of the various objects. Change back: View -> Preview.

    Have a great day!
