Answer:

Some actors work as a waiter until their big break.

Explanation:

The sentence that contains an inappropriate shift in person is the last one. Instead of a waiter, we should say waiters (Some actors work as waiters...). Actors is a plural noun and it should be followed by a plural noun. Another thing that confirms this is the use of the plural possessive pronoun their.

The rest of the sentences are correct. In the first sentence, there is no dilemma. In the second sentence, we have the phrase many people, which requires a plural verb and plural possessive pronoun. These conditions are fulfilled. The third sentence is a bit tricky because of the correlative conjunction neither... nor. The verb and possessive pronoun should be in the singular form in this case (as Dave is a singular noun), and they are, which makes this sentence correct.

This is why the fourth option is the correct answer.

We consider them the best astronauts in the world

Anarel [89]

Answer:

The correct answer is actually the best astronauts in the world.

Explanation:

An object complement follows a direct object with the purpose of renaming it or stating what it has become. Certain verbs commonly attract object complements, such as to consider, to call, to to create, to make, etc. It is important to remember that the object complement can be a noun, a pronoun, an adjective, or a phrase. Study the example below:

- We consider them intelligent.

"Them" is the direct object of "consider". It is followed by the adjective "intelligent", which functions as the object complement. Notice that the sentence we are supposed to analyze is similar:

- We consider them the best astronauts in the world.

This time, the object "them" has a whole phrase as its complement, "the best astronauts in the world". It's as if we are answering a question about the object. For the first sentence, what do we consider them? Intelligent. For the second one, what do we consider them? The best astronauts in the world.
