The correct answer is 35 ushers.
To find this, we can set up a proportion using the information given:
510 spectators = 17 ushers
1,050 spectators = x ushers
Cross-multiplying, we get:
510 * x = 1,050 * 17
x = (1,050 * 17) / 510
x = 35
Therefore, if there are 1,050 spectators at the game, 35 ushers are needed.
