In order to correctly identify a sentence that uses a predicate pronoun as a subject complement, it is important to know what subject complements and pronouns are.
A subject complement is a word or phrase that follows a linking verb, such as "is" or "were", and provides additional information about the subject of the sentence. It often renames or describes the subject.
A pronoun, on the other hand, is a word that is used instead of a noun to avoid repetition. Pronouns include words like "he", "she", "it", "we", and "they".
Now, let's examine the sentence options you provided:
A. The last arrivals were Joe and
This sentence is incomplete and does not include a predicate pronoun as a subject complement. It lacks a word or phrase that provides additional information about the subject "the last arrivals".
In order to correctly use a predicate pronoun as a subject complement, you could revise the sentence to include a pronoun after the linking verb "were". For example:
B. The last arrivals were they
Now, the pronoun "they" correctly functions as a subject complement, providing additional information about the subject "the last arrivals".
