To find the answer to question 1, you need to understand what a predicate adjective is. A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject of the sentence. In this case, we are looking for a sentence where an adjective describes a noun. Let's evaluate each option:
a. The sentence says "The singer's latest hit is a beautiful song." Here, "beautiful" is the adjective describing the noun "song." So, option a does not contain a predicate adjective.
b. The sentence says "The bus has arrived at last." There is no adjective describing the noun "bus" in this sentence, so option b does not contain a predicate adjective.
c. The sentence says "We bought four juicy apples at the farmers market." Here, "juicy" is the adjective describing the noun "apples." So, option c contains a predicate adjective.
d. The sentence says "The weather today seems very humid to me." Here, "humid" is the adjective describing the noun "weather." So, option d contains a predicate adjective.
Thus, the correct answer is option c, "We bought four juicy apples at the farmers market."
To find the answer to question 2, you need to understand what a predicate pronoun and a subject complement are. A predicate pronoun is a pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or describes the subject. A subject complement is a word or phrase that follows a linking verb and provides additional information about the subject. Let's evaluate each option:
a. The sentence says "The last arrivals were Joe and I." In this sentence, "Joe and I" are the subject of the verb "were" and are not functioning as a predicate pronoun or a subject complement. So, option a does not correctly use a predicate pronoun as a subject complement.
b. The sentence says "This year's soccer champions were Lana and me." Here, "Lana and me" are the subject complement, renaming or describing the subject "champions." So, option b correctly uses a predicate pronoun as a subject complement.
c. The sentence says "The tribute deeply touched my brother and I." The pronoun "I" should be "me" because it is the object of the preposition "touched." Therefore, option c does not correctly use a predicate pronoun as a subject complement.
d. The sentence says "My boyfriend became my best friend." The word "friend" is not a pronoun but a noun, so it is not a predicate pronoun. Therefore, option d does not use a predicate pronoun as a subject complement.
Thus, the correct answer is option b, "This year's soccer champions were Lana and me."
