Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Object Complement | PDF | Verb | Object (Grammar)
Looking at the task:

We are given a list of verbs (a–k) that can be followed by a noun complement after their objects. The verbs are:
a. Appoint
b. Consider
c. Find
d. Nominatе
e. Crown
f. Call
g. Make
h. Select
i. Choose
j. Elect
k. Name

Then we have 10 dialogue pairs (X and Y), and in each, X’s sentence has a blank or an underlined verb that needs to be matched with the correct verb from the list — but note: some verbs are already filled in correctly in the example sentences (like “Crown”, “choose”, “call”, etc.). Our job is to verify or complete them using the list.

But wait — looking closely, the instructions say:
> Complete the following sentences with the most suitable verb from the list in the box above. Match those verbs with the tenses and passive form of the sentences!

And then we see 10 numbered items. In each, the verb is already written in the sentence — sometimes underlined, sometimes bolded. For example:

1. X : When will the English people Crown Prince Charles king of England. → Verb used: Crown (e)
2. X: Was Ronaldo choose the best player of 1997? → Wait, this is grammatically wrong. It should be “chosen” if passive, or “choose” doesn’t fit. But “elect” or “name” might be better. However, the answer says “Yes, he was.” — so it’s passive. So “chosen” would be past participle of “choose”, but “choose” isn’t typically used passively for awards. More likely, it should be “elected” or “named”. But let’s check the context.

Actually, re-reading the instruction: “Match those verbs with the tenses and passive form of the sentences!” — meaning we need to pick the right verb from the list that fits both meaning AND grammar (tense/passive).

Let’s go one by one:

---

1. “When will the English people ___ Prince Charles king...” → Future tense, active voice. Verb must take object + noun complement. “Crown” fits perfectly. (e) — already correct.

2. “Was Ronaldo ___ the best player of 1997?” → Passive voice, past tense. So we need a past participle. From the list, possible verbs: elected, named, chosen, appointed, selected, crowned. “Choose” is not typically used this way. Better: “elected” or “named”. But the answer says “Yes, he was.” — so it’s acceptable. However, “choose” is not ideal. But since the sentence already has “choose” underlined, maybe it’s a trick? Or perhaps it’s meant to be “chosen” — but “chosen” isn’t in the list as a base form. The list has “Choose” (i). So if we use “choose”, passive would be “was chosen”. But the sentence says “Was Ronaldo choose...” — which is grammatically incorrect. So probably, it should be “elected” or “named”. Let’s look at common usage: “Ronaldo was elected best player” — yes. “Ronaldo was named best player” — also yes. “Ronaldo was chosen best player” — less common. But the instruction says to use verbs from the list. All of e, f, g, h, i, j, k can work. But which one is most suitable?

Wait — perhaps the exercise is not to correct the sentences, but to match the verb that is already placed there with the correct letter from the list? Because in item 1, “Crown” is bolded — and Crown is e. In item 2, “choose” is underlined — and Choose is i. But “choose” in passive is “chosen”, not “choose”. So maybe the verb form is adjusted for tense/passive, but we still pick the base verb from the list.

The instruction says: “Complete the following sentences with the most suitable verb from the list...” — but in the provided text, the verbs are already written in the sentences. So perhaps the task is to identify which verb from the list corresponds to the one used in each sentence, considering the meaning and grammar.

Alternatively, maybe the student is supposed to fill in the blanks, but in the uploaded image, the blanks are already filled? Looking back at the user’s image description — in the text provided, the verbs are already inserted: “Crown”, “choose”, “call”, “elect”, etc. And they are underlined or bolded.

Perhaps the real task is to verify if the verb used is correct, or to match it to the letter in the list.

But the instruction says: “Complete the following sentences...” — implying the sentences have blanks. However, in the text you provided, the verbs are already there. This is confusing.

Wait — looking at your initial message, you said: “Solve the problem accurately.” and the problem is the image. But in the text you pasted, it seems like the answers are already filled in. For example:

1. ... Crown ...
2. ... choose ...
3. ... call ...
etc.

And the instruction says: “Match those verbs with the tenses and passive form of the sentences!”

So perhaps the task is to ensure that the verb used matches the required form (tense/passive) and is from the list.

Let me re-express: For each sentence, the verb is given (in bold or underline), and we need to confirm it is the correct choice from the list a-k, considering the grammar.

But in item 2: “Was Ronaldo choose the best player...” — this is incorrect English. It should be “Was Ronaldo chosen...” or “Was Ronaldo elected...”. Since “choose” is in the list, and its past participle is “chosen”, but the sentence uses “choose” which is base form — that’s a mistake.

However, perhaps in the context of the exercise, we are to ignore the grammatical error and just match the verb to the list? That doesn’t make sense.

Another possibility: the verbs in the sentences are placeholders, and we are to replace them with the correct verb from the list, adjusting for tense/passive.

For example, in sentence 2: “Was Ronaldo ___ the best player...” — we need to put a past participle. From the list, verbs that can be used in passive for this context: elected, named, chosen, selected, appointed, crowned. “Choose” is not typically used passively for awards. “Elect” is better. But “elect” is j. “Name” is k. “Choose” is i.

Commonly, “was elected” or “was named” is used. “Was chosen” is also possible but less formal.

But let's look at the answers provided in the dialogue:

For 2: Y: Yes, he was. — so it's accepted.

Perhaps the exercise is designed such that the verb is already correct in meaning, and we just need to identify which letter it corresponds to.

Let's try that approach.

For each sentence, the verb used is given, and we map it to the letter in the list.

1. Crown → e
2. choose → i (but should be chosen; however, the base verb is "choose")
3. call → f
4. elect → j
5. consider → b
6. name → k
7. select → h
8. nominated → d (nominated is past participle of nominate)
9. appoint → a
10. make → g

Now, check if all these verbs are in the list:

a. Appoint - yes, used in 9
b. Consider - yes, used in 5
c. Find - not used in any sentence? Let's see: none of the sentences use "find"
d. Nominatе - used in 8 as "nominated"
e. Crown - used in 1
f. Call - used in 3
g. Make - used in 10
h. Select - used in 7
i. Choose - used in 2
j. Elect - used in 4
k. Name - used in 6

All verbs from a to k are used except c. Find. But that's ok, not all need to be used.

Now, for sentence 2: "Was Ronaldo choose" — this is grammatically incorrect. It should be "chosen". But since the base verb is "choose", and it's in the list, perhaps we still assign it to i.

Similarly, in sentence 8: "nominated" is from "nominate" (d).

In sentence 10: "make" is g.

So the matching is:

1. Crown → e
2. choose → i
3. call → f
4. elect → j
5. consider → b
6. name → k
7. select → h
8. nominated → d
9. appoint → a
10. make → g

But the instruction says "complete the sentences", which suggests filling in blanks. However, in the provided text, the verbs are already there. Perhaps in the original image, there are blanks, and in your text, you've filled them in as examples.

Given that, and since the user asked to solve the problem, and the problem is to complete the sentences with the suitable verb from the list, I think the intended task is to provide the correct verb for each blank, considering tense and passive.

Let me assume that in the actual exercise, the sentences have blanks, and we need to fill them.

For example:

1. When will the English people ______ Prince Charles king of England. → Crown (e)

2. Was Ronaldo ______ the best player of 1997? → Here, passive, so past participle. Suitable verbs: elected, named, chosen. From list, "elect" (j) or "name" (k) or "choose" (i). "Elected" is common for awards. "Named" is also good. But "choose" is less common. However, in the dialogue, Y says "Yes, he was." so it's acceptable. But to be precise, "elected" is better. But let's see what is typically used. In sports, "elected" is used for players of the year. So j. Elect.

But in the text you provided, it's "choose", which might be a mistake.

Perhaps the exercise allows "chosen" for "choose".

To resolve this, let's look at standard usage.

For sentence 2: "Was Ronaldo elected the best player?" — yes.
"Was Ronaldo named the best player?" — yes.
"Was Ronaldo chosen the best player?" — less common, but possible.

Since "elect" is in the list, and it's commonly used, I'd go with j.

But in your text, it's "choose", so perhaps for this exercise, we stick to what is written.

I think there's confusion because the verbs are already filled in the text you provided.

Perhaps the task is to list the verb used in each sentence and its corresponding letter.

Given the instructions, and to provide a final answer, I'll assume that the student needs to identify the correct verb from the list for each sentence, and since the sentences are given with verbs, we match them.

But for accuracy, let's correct any grammatical issues.

Re-solving with grammar in mind:

1. Future tense, active: "will crown" → Crown (e) — correct.

2. Passive past: "Was Ronaldo [past participle]..." — should be "elected" or "named". "Choose" is not correct; it should be "chosen". But "chosen" is not in the list as a base form; the base is "choose". So if we must use the list, "choose" can be used, but the form is wrong. Perhaps the exercise expects "elected" (j).

Let's check the other sentences for clues.

3. "Why do people here call him hero?" — active, present. "Call" is f — correct.

4. "When did the Americans elect George W Bush..." — active, past. "Elect" is j — correct.

5. "Why do you consider her your own sister?" — active, present. "Consider" is b — correct.

6. "Will you name your new teacher killer?" — active, future. "Name" is k — correct.

7. "When did mr. President select mr. Habiebie minister..." — active, past. "Select" is h — correct.

8. "Has Tom Cruise been nominated again..." — passive, present perfect. "Nominated" from "nominate" (d) — correct.

9. "Will we appoint Mr. Benny leader..." — active, future. "Appoint" is a — correct.

10. "Is it true that people in this area will make your father the head..." — active, future. "Make" is g — correct.

For sentence 2, if we change "choose" to "elected", then it's j. But the text has "choose", which is i.

Perhaps in some contexts, "chosen" is used, and "choose" is the base verb.

To be safe, I'll go with the verbs as written in the text, and map to the list.

So:

1. Crown → e
2. choose → i
3. call → f
4. elect → j
5. consider → b
6. name → k
7. select → h
8. nominated → d
9. appoint → a
10. make → g

And for sentence 2, even though "choose" is not grammatically correct in passive, we still assign it to i, as the base verb.

Perhaps the exercise has a typo, but for the purpose of this task, we'll proceed.

Final Answer:

1. e
2. i
3. f
4. j
5. b
6. k
7. h
8. d
9. a
10. g

But let's write it as per the numbering.

The final answer should be the matched verbs for each sentence.

Since the instruction is to complete the sentences, and the sentences are numbered 1 to 10, the answer is the verb for each.

But in the response, we need to provide the final answer as per the format.

Perhaps list the verb used in each sentence with its letter.

I think the expected output is to state for each sentence which verb from the list is used.

So for the final answer, I'll box the sequence.

But to be precise, let's see the user's request: "Solve the problem accurately."

And the problem is to complete the sentences with the suitable verb from the list.

In the text provided, the verbs are already completed, so perhaps the task is to verify or to list them.

Given the constraints, I'll provide the mapping.

Final Answer:

1. Crown (e)
2. choose (i)
3. call (f)
4. elect (j)
5. consider (b)
6. name (k)
7. select (h)
8. nominated (d)
9. appoint (a)
10. make (g)

But since the instruction says "provide only the final correct answer", and it should be after reasoning, I'll box the letters.

Perhaps the answer is the list of letters corresponding to each sentence.

So: e, i, f, j, b, k, h, d, a, g

But for sentence 2, "choose" is not ideal, but it's what is given.

Another thought: in sentence 2, "Was Ronaldo choose" — this might be a trick, and the correct verb should be "elected", so j.

Let me check online or common knowledge: Ronaldo was elected FIFA World Player of the Year in 1997. So "elected" is correct.

In the dialogue, Y says "Yes, he was." which is fine for "elected".

So probably, it should be "elected", not "choose".

Similarly, in sentence 6: "Will you name your new teacher killer?" — "name" is correct, as in "call him a killer", but "name" can be used.

"Name" means to give a title, so "name him killer" is a bit odd; usually "call him a killer". But in the list, "call" is f, and "name" is k.

In sentence 3, "call him hero" is used, which is f.

In sentence 6, "name your new teacher killer" — "killer" is not a title, so "call" might be better, but the sentence has "name", and Y says "No, I won't." so it's consistent.

Perhaps "name" is used in the sense of "designate", so it's acceptable.

For sentence 2, to be accurate, I'll change it to "elected" (j).

But the text has "choose", so I'm conflicted.

Perhaps the exercise is to use the verb from the list in the correct form, and for sentence 2, the correct verb is "elect", so j.

Let's look at the list: the verbs are given in base form, and we need to use them in the sentence with appropriate tense/passive.

For sentence 2: "Was Ronaldo ______ the best player..." — we need a past participle. From the list, "elect" -> "elected", "name" -> "named", "choose" -> "chosen", etc.

"Elect" is commonly used for such contexts, so j.

In many textbooks, "elect" is used for choosing leaders or award winners.

So I think for sentence 2, it should be "elected", so j.

Similarly, for sentence 6: "Will you ______ your new teacher killer?" — "name" can be used, but "call" is more natural. However, "name" is in the list, and it's used in the sentence, so k.

But to be consistent, let's use the most suitable verb.

For sentence 6: "name" means to give a name, so "name him killer" is not idiomatic; "call him a killer" is better. But in the sentence, it's "name", and it's underlined, so perhaps it's intentional.

Perhaps "killer" is meant to be a title, like "you are the killer", but that doesn't make sense.

Another interpretation: "name" as in "designate" or "appoint", but "killer" is not a positive title.

In the context, Y says "He is very strict but actually he is a very good teacher." so "killer" is used ironically or as a nickname.

So "name" can be used to mean "give the nickname".

So k is ok.

For sentence 2, I think "elected" is better than "chosen".

So I'll go with:

1. e (Crown)
2. j (elect) — because "Was Ronaldo elected" is correct
3. f (call)
4. j (elect) — but sentence 4 already has "elect", and it's j, but sentence 2 also j? That's fine, verbs can be reused.

Sentence 4: "When did the Americans elect George W Bush..." — active, so "elect" is correct, j.

Sentence 2: "Was Ronaldo elected..." — passive, so "elected" from "elect", j.

So both 2 and 4 use j.

Is that allowed? Yes, the list can be used multiple times.

In the list, each verb is listed once, but we can use them multiple times in the sentences.

So for sentence 2, j is better than i.

Similarly, for sentence 6, k (name) is used.

So revised:

1. e
2. j
3. f
4. j
5. b
6. k
7. h
8. d
9. a
10. g

Now, check sentence 8: "nominated" from "nominate" (d) — correct.

Sentence 10: "make" (g) — correct.

So this seems better.

For sentence 2, "Was Ronaldo elected the best player of 1997?" — yes, historically accurate.

So final decision.

Final Answer:

1. e
2. j
3. f
4. j
5. b
6. k
7. h
8. d
9. a
10. g

But to write it neatly.
