fun

Respuesta :

Answer:

fun

Explanation:

Answer:

The word that functions as an objective complement is "fun".

Explanation:

An objective complement is a noun or an adjective whose function is to modify the direct object of a verb. By doing so, it helps complete the meaning of the verb. When we break down the sentence "Many young children consider blowing bubbles fun," we have as follows:

- Many young children - subject;

- consider - transitive active verb;

- blowing bubbles - direct object.

As we can see, the sentence has the necessary elements to be considered complete. Still, we would ask for more information if we heard "Many young children consider blowing bubbles." Even though we have a direct object, the meaning of the verb is still incomplete. Children consider blowing bubbles to be what? Fun. Therefore, "fun" is modifying the direct object and completing the verb's meaning. It is an objective complement.
