Final answer:
The correct labels for the sentence 'the president declared the prisoner a free man' are subject (S) for 'the president', verb (V) for 'declared', direct object (DO) for 'the prisoner', and objective complement (OC) for 'a free man', which gives us option D (S, V, DO, OC, NA) as the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question requires identifying parts of the sentence 'the president declared the prisoner a free man' with the correct grammatical functions. To correctly label the sentence parts, we need to understand the role of each word or phrase in the sentence.
The subject (S) is 'the president,' since that is the person performing the action. The verb (V) is 'declared,' as it is the action that the subject is doing. In this sentence, 'the prisoner' is the direct object (DO), as it is the person who is being declared something by the subject. The phrase 'a free man' serves as the objective complement (OC), because it complements the direct object by describing what the prisoner has been declared. There is no indirect object (IO) or subject complement (SC) in this sentence, and 'na' (not affected) is not applicable here.
Therefore, the correct label for each part of the sentence would be option D: S, V, DO, OC, NA. The prisoner is the direct object being affected by the action, and 'a free man' is the objective complement that describes the state of the direct object as being declared by the subject.
