To identify the subject complement in the sentence "My neighbor is a newspaper reporter," you need to understand what a subject complement is. A subject complement is a word or phrase that follows a linking verb (in this case, "is") and provides additional information about the subject of the sentence (in this case, "My neighbor").
In this sentence, the verb "is" links the subject "My neighbor" to the noun phrase "a newspaper reporter." In other words, "a newspaper reporter" is providing additional information about what "My neighbor" is. Therefore, the subject complement in this sentence is "a newspaper reporter."
So, option B, "Reporter," is indeed the correct answer. Option D, "Newspaper," is incorrect because it is not the complement to the subject but rather a descriptor of the type of reporter the neighbor is.
