To determine the kind of complement in each sentence, we need to analyze the structure and function of the underlined word. Here's how you can approach each question:
9. "Fill the bucket with potting soil." - The underlined word "potting soil" is the object of the preposition "with" and it completes the verb "fill." Therefore, it is a direct object.
10. "This jigsaw puzzle is too easy for me." - The underlined word "easy" describes the subject "jigsaw puzzle" and completes the verb "is." Therefore, it is a predicate adjective.
11. "Kiki, hand them the dictionaries for shelving." - The underlined word "them" represents the recipient of the action and is being indirectly affected by the verb "hand." Therefore, it is an indirect object.
12. "Isn't this book The Two Towers?" - The underlined word "The Two Towers" renames the subject "book" and completes the verb "isn't." Therefore, it is a predicate nominative.
13. "Have you met Dr. Carlos Whitman, Sally?" - The underlined word "Dr. Carlos Whitman" is the object of the verb "met." Therefore, it is a direct object.
14. "First chair in the trumpet section of the band is Marco Rossi!" - The underlined word "Marco Rossi" renames the subject "chair" and completes the verb "is." Therefore, it is a predicate nominative.
15. "Print me a copy of the poem you wrote, please." - The underlined word "copy" is the object of the verb "print." Therefore, it is a direct object.
16. "Well, the lecture seemed pretty long to me." - The underlined word "long" describes the subject "lecture" and completes the verb "seemed." Therefore, it is a predicate adjective.
17. "Lights of many colors shone on the pool." - The underlined word group "of many colors" describes the noun "Lights" and functions as an adjective by modifying it. Therefore, it is an adjective phrase.
Note: Keep in mind that these explanations are based on traditional sentence analysis, and the categorization of complements may vary depending on different linguistic theories.
