Which of the following sentences contains an italicized word that's used as a predicate adjective?
A. Jerry looks ILL today.
B. Jerry looks INTO the microscope.
C. Jerry looks disdainfully at the pile of laundry
D. Jerry looks at the map.
Is it c?
No. Sentence c doesn't have an adjective.
Yes, the sentence C. "Jerry looks disdainfully at the pile of laundry" contains an italicized word that is used as a predicate adjective.
To determine the correct answer, you need to identify the predicate adjective, which is a descriptive word or phrase that modifies the subject of the sentence. In this case, "disdainfully" is an adverb describing how Jerry looks, and "at the pile of laundry" is a prepositional phrase that tells where Jerry is looking. The word "disdainfully" does not function as a predicate adjective.
However, the word "ill" in sentence A. "Jerry looks ILL today" is an italicized word that is used as a predicate adjective. It describes Jerry's appearance, suggesting that he does not feel well. So, the correct answer is A, not C.
