Answer 1

This can be confusing.
We are not trying to find the predicate nominative this time, but the word the predicate nominative is renaming.
To find this out, remember this key rule - the predicate nominative ALWAYS comes after the word it renames.
So, here's an example (the word the predicate nominative renames is in CAPS, predicate nominative is like *this*):
KITTENS are my favorite *animal*.
A GIRL I know is *Jamie*.
So, what is being renamed here in the sentence, "Russia is the nation with the largest physical land area in the world"?
