nevermind the answer's d.
Yes, the answer is D. I hope you figured that out yourself.
To determine the predicate nominative in a sentence, we first need to understand what a predicate nominative is. A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject.
In the given sentence, the linking verb is "should be," and it links the subject "Next Monday" to the predicate nominative. To find the predicate nominative, we need to identify the noun or pronoun that renames or identifies "Next Monday."
Looking at the options provided:
A. "federal" is an adjective that describes the noun "holiday." It is not a noun or pronoun renaming or identifying the subject, so it is not the predicate nominative.
B. "Monday" is the subject of the sentence and does not rename or identify itself, so it is not the predicate nominative.
C. "next" is an adjective that describes the noun "Monday." It is not a noun or pronoun renaming or identifying the subject, so it is not the predicate nominative.
D. "holiday" is a noun and renames or identifies "Next Monday." Therefore, "holiday" is the predicate nominative in the sentence.
So, the correct answer is D. "holiday".
