I think it may be A or B.. Im not sure which one!

Answer 5

Ok, lets clarify.


A:The predicate nominative is the noun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.

Typically, a predicate nominative has the same value or grammatical weight as the subject.

[In the following examples, the predicate nominative is bold and the subject is underlined.]

At the end of the tournament, Tiger Woods was the leader.

The subject and the predicate nominative are essentially the same thing.

For many of us on the team, the fans were an embarrassment.

EMBARRASSMENT restates the subject FANS.

When the plot is discovered, Andrea will be a suspect.

Look for the subject, decide whether the verb indicates a state of being and find out what “state” the subject is in.

Before the announcement, they were the favorites to win the contest.

Once you identify the verb, ask whether the verb was done to someone or something. For example: Did THEY do something? No, they just were. What they WERE is FAVORITES, making FAVORITES the predicate nominative.

Answer 6

B: Recognize a subject of a sentence when you see one.

In a sentence, every verb must have a subject. If the verb expresses action—like sneeze, jump, bark, or study—the subject is who or what does the verb. Take a look at this example:

During his biology lab, Tommy danced on the table.

Danced is an action verb. Tommy is who did the dancing. Look at the next example:

The speeding hotrod crashed into a telephone pole.

Crashed is the action verb. The hotrod is what did the crashing.

Not all verbs are action verbs. Some verbs are linking: am, is, are, was, were, seem, and become, among others. Linking verbs connect the subject to something that is said about the subject. Take a look at this example:

Ron's bathroom is a disaster.

Bathroom is the subject. Is connects the subject to something that is said about it, that the bathroom is a disaster.
