Question

the Convict complaint that his food was stale(use:' complaint of')

Answer 1

The convict had a complaint of stale food

Answer 2

Answer:

The Convict had a complaint of his stale food.  

Explanation:

Complaint is a noun form of the word ‘complain’ while the word ‘complain’ is a verb. In the given sentence, conjunction ‘that’ was used to join two sentences which are: 1. The convict complaint and 2. His food was stale.

Hence, by using ‘that’, both the sentences were joined. Now, in the required sentence, complaint of is to be used. Hence, the same is used by adding verb to the sentence and rearranging some words in the sentence.
