You need to learn how to do these for yourself. First of all, you need to know what the parts of speech are and how to recognize them:

A subject complement follows a linking or sense verb.... The complement will either modify or be identical to the subject. Look at the word "felt" in the two sentences.... Which of those has a word following felt that describes the subject?
Linking verbs - am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been
Sense verbs - sounds, feels, smells, seems, etc.
To identify which sentence has a subject complement, we first need to understand what a subject complement is. A subject complement is a word or phrase that follows a linking verb (such as "is," "was," "became," etc.) and modifies or renames the subject.
Let's examine each sentence:
1. The nurse felt my pulse.
In this sentence, there is no linking verb, so it does not have a subject complement.
2. I felt much better.
In this sentence, "much better" follows the linking verb "felt" and modifies the subject "I." Therefore, this sentence has a subject complement.
3. The day ended with many surprises.
In this sentence, there is no linking verb, so it does not have a subject complement.
4. We can't leave without seeing her.
In this sentence, there is no linking verb, so it does not have a subject complement.
Therefore, the second sentence, "I felt much better," is the one that has a subject complement.
