No.
Answered by Hayden
I left out a word in # 4.

Many people illegally harvest these wild plants.

So would the compliment be illegally?
Answered by Sue S.
No. Illegally is an adverb; these is used as an adjective. This compliment is a noun.
How did you get most of these questions right, but not this one?
Answered by Writeacher
There is no complement in #4. There's a direct object, though. Do you see it?
Answered by Sue S.
Isn't plants an object complement?
Answered by Writeacher
"plants" is the direct object in that sentence. It's not describing anything.
