Answer 1

An adjective describes something, so which of those do you think describes a noun?

Answer 2

a predicate adjective is an adjective found in the predicate that describes the subject.
do you have any ideas ?

Answer 3

Yes? But still a little confused

Answer 4

About the whole predicate thing?

Answer 5

But im guessing the answer is C. and yeah @JameyFoxx

Answer 6

Its not C, nor is it A

Answer 7

So it is Tiny, B.

Answer 8

That's what i would go with, or its D. I could only narrow this one down. Sorry

Answer 9

Its Ok. Thanks @JameyFoxx @texaschic101

Answer 10

I would go with C

Answer 11

But tall isn't describing anything directly, or is it?

Answer 12

it describes the subject -- tall plant....it is in the predicate and it follows a linking verb which a predicate adjective is supposed to

Answer 13

But it is a little confusing....could tall be an adverb modifying the verb " grew " answering the question HOW it grew ??

Answer 14

ok got it

Answer 15

yeah it is confusing

Answer 16

" in the warmth " and " of the new greenhouse " are prep phrases...you do not even need them.

So the sentence is basically : The plant grew tall.......I am still gonna go with C but not 100% sure
