The hikers considered snakes hazardous.

Question

Which word in the sentence functions as an objective complement?

snakes

hikers

hazardous

considered

Answer 1

To determine the objective complement in the sentence, we need to identify the word that follows the verb "considered" and renames or describes the direct object. In this case, the verb "considered" is followed by the direct object "snakes." The word "hazardous" further describes or renames the snakes. Therefore, "hazardous" functions as the objective complement in the sentence.
