Which describes the underlined words in the sentence?

The dog is a beautiful Siberian Husky with bright blue eyes.

A.
indirect object

B.
predicate nominative

C.
predicate adjective

D.
direct object
Siberian Husky is underlined

Answer 12

I think it is C... bc Siberian Husky describes the dog

Answer 13

but could it not also be A?

Answer 14

I don't believe it's either. The dog IS a Siberian Husky. So the correct term would be a predicate nominative.

Answer 15

i do not understand those. :/

Answer 16

They're quite simple. Just think of them as ways of the noun. Like "Kyan is a Doodle" Doodle is the predicate nominative because it restates the subject, Kyan.

Answer 17

ok... that makes much more sense

Answer 18

Yeah. English is really hard, so I like to take the childish view. :D
