Ans- predicate adjective
Is this correct?
Thanks

Yes, that is correct! The word "EXPENSIVE" is functioning as a predicate adjective in the sentence "Well, the uniforms seem awfully EXPENSIVE to me."
To determine the kind of complement, you need to identify the word or phrase that follows a linking verb (in this case, "seem") and describes the subject ("the uniforms"). In this sentence, "EXPENSIVE" is describing the uniforms, indicating the subjective opinion of the speaker, so it is acting as a predicate adjective. Well done!
