It looks like the intended question is whether fruit is a direct object or subject complement.

This question is meaningless without a context in which to evaluate how fruit is used: the word fruit by itself is simply a noun, and sometimes even a verb. As a noun standing alone, fruit is not a direct object, indirect object, subject complement, subject, or object of a preposition.

If a sentence containing the word fruit had been provided, it would be possible to answer this question.

There are three types of complements:

A verb complement is a direct or indirect object of a verb. It may be a noun, pronoun, or word or word group acting as a noun. Example:

We gave mom a party. (both the direct object 'party' and the indirect object 'mom' are verb complements)

A subject complement follows a linking verb and modifies or renames the subject. It may be a noun (also known as a predicate noun or nominative) or an adjective (also known as a predicate adjective). Examples:

predicate noun: Mary is my sister. (Mary = sister, renames the subject)

predicate adjective: Mary's feet got wet. (feet > wet, modifies the subject)

An object complement is a noun, an adjective, or a group of words which follows a direct object to rename it or modify the direct object. Examples:

We met her parents Mary and Mark. (the nouns 'Mark and Mary' renames the direct object 'parents')

The storm made the yard messy. (the adjective 'messy' modifies the direct object 'yard')

How do you use compliment in a sentence?

The word complement means an accompanying or additional object or service, one that fits another object or service. It is something that fills up, completes, or makes something else perfect.Example: "The flowers were a nice complement to the furnishings in the room."Complement is also used in geometry when discussing angles and arcs. A "complement" in this sense is the angle or arc that when added to another, equals a right angle.Example: "A 30 degree angle is the complement to a 60 degree angle." (30 and 60 add up to 90, the measure of a right angle.)Complementary is the adjective form, describing something that fills out our completes.Example: "Wine is a complementary beverage to cheese."*Note that complement is different from a compliment, which is an expression of gratitude, admiration, or congratulations.Example: "Bill gave Sally the nicest compliment on her flower arrangement. He said it was the most beautiful he had ever seen."Complimentary, the adjective form, describes 1) something that contains a compliment, or 2) something that is given as a free courtesy or favor.Example: "The new summer movie received complimentary reviews from all the major newspapers."Example: "Providing the guests with fresh towels was a complimentary feature of the resort's indoor pool."One easy way to remember the difference is by reminding yourself, "I" like to get compliments. Who doesn't like to be told nice things or get free stuff? You'll never forget the "i" in "compliment" again.
