@Shaaan14 Let me teach you how to do these so that I am not just giving you the answers. Are you ok with that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a predicate nominative that follows the verb
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Alright great!
So what we need to do is look at the sentence and figure out the subject of the sentence.
So you tell me, who or what is the central subject of this sentence?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Either the road or the dog

The dog is the central subject to the sentence! :)
So a predictive nominative is the noun that follows the linking verb.
Ex: For many of us on the team the fans were an embarrassment.
Embarrassment restates the subject (fans).
So embarrassment is the predictive nominative.
