First let me refresh to you, what these verbs mean. :) Linking verb is an equating verb (such as `be' or `become') that links the subject with the complement of a sentence action verb is a word that in syntax conveys an action An auxiliary verb is a verb used in forming the tenses, moods, and voices of other verbs. a transitive verb is a verb (or verb construction) that requires an object in order to be grammatical
So in the case of the first question, it would be a linking verb, I believe.
the second question you have it correct :)
The third one is also correct, I believe. :)
*-* 1. The committe judged the logo (the most appropriate symbol) for the association's mission. A. Predicate nominative B. objective complement C. predicate adjective*** D. Direct Object 2. Rashid's speech was both an (analysis) and a (satire) of the school system today. A. compund subject B. compound verb C. compound direct object*** D. compound predicate nominative 3. (Most of the passengers) were issued new plane tickets for the same day. A. simple subject*** B. simple predicate C. complete subject D. complete predicate
A predicate adjective is an adjective that modifies the noun or a pronoun in a sentence. For example, in the sentence The boys are happy, happy is the predicate adjective. an objective complement is a noun, adjective, or pronoun used in the predicate as complement to a verb and as qualifier of its direct object (as chairman in “we elected him chairman”) so I think in the case of question number one, it would be an objective compliment since is is being used in the predicate as a complement to the verb "judged"
I think number two is right. @Hawaiian_life could probably confirm that, lol.
A complete subject is one which has several words to describe and give more details about it. On the other hand, a simple subject is that which is in the simplest noun. A complete subject becomes a simple subject when the descriptive words are removed. So I believe number 3 is a complete subject. :)
