Can you provide the sentences you would like me to evaluate for the function of the underlined objective complement?
No, "member" is not an objective complement in this context. It is functioning as a predicate nominative, renaming the subject "function."
To determine if the subject complement is a predicate nominative or predicate adjective, you need to analyze the function it serves in the sentence. A predicate nominative renames or identifies the subject, while a predicate adjective describes or modifies the subject. Look at the verb in the sentence - if it is a linking verb (such as "is," "was," "seems"), the subject complement is likely a predicate nominative. If the verb is an action verb, the subject complement is likely a predicate adjective.
Yes, a subject complement is the adjective, noun, or pronoun that follows a linking verb that renames or defines the subject. Examples:Adjective: This cake is good.Noun: Jane was named the winner.Pronoun: My favorite photos are these.

In the sentence "Mayor Pierce considered Ms. Garza and her voting record spotless," the underlined objective complement "spotless" functions as a noun that describes the state or quality of Ms. Garza and her voting record. It provides additional information about how Mayor Pierce views them, effectively completing the thought initiated by the verb "considered."
