Cevap

1. 'the community library' matches Direct Object; 2. 'the victorious athlete' matches Indirect Object; 3. 'the committee chairman' matches Object Complement; 4. 'an instant bestseller' matches Subject Complement.
Each noun phrase correctly maps to its syntactic position within the clause: receiving action directly (Direct Object), benefiting from action (Indirect Object), renaming a direct object (Object Complement), or renaming the clause subject following a linking verb (Subject Complement).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the verb type and relationship for the first sentence.
'damaged' is a transitive verb, and 'the community library' undergoes the action, functioning as the Direct Object.
Direct objects receive the action directly from a transitive verb.
2
Analyze the verb type and recipient in the second sentence.
'presented' is ditransitive; 'the victorious athlete' indicates to whom the medal was given, functioning as the Indirect Object.
Indirect objects indicate the beneficiary or recipient of the direct object.
3
Examine the role of the noun phrase following the object in the third sentence.
'the committee chairman' renames 'Mr. Danjuma' (the object), functioning as an Object Complement.
Object complements define or complete the identity of the direct object following verbs of appointing or naming.
4
Examine the link between subject and noun phrase in the fourth sentence.
'became' is a linking verb, so 'an instant bestseller' acts as the Subject Complement.
Subject complements follow linking verbs to rename or describe the subject.
