Let's break down each question to determine the correct answers:
5. Predicate noun: A predicate noun is a noun that comes after a linking verb (such as "is," "was," "were," etc.) and renames or identifies the subject.
A. The walk through the tunnel was eerie - In this sentence, "eerie" is an adjective that describes the noun "walk," so it is not a predicate noun.
B. I bought mom a cookbook for her birthday - No linking verb and no predicate noun.
C. My dog is the master of the household - Here, "master" is a noun that renames the subject "dog," so it acts as a predicate noun.
D. The ground is very uneven - Similar to option A, "uneven" is an adjective, not a predicate noun.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: "My dog is the master of the household."
6. Predicate adjective: A predicate adjective is an adjective that comes after a linking verb and describes the subject.
A. The singer's latest hit is a beautiful song - "Beautiful" is an adjective that describes the noun "song," so it is not a predicate adjective.
B. The bud has arrived at last - No linking verb and no predicate adjective.
C. We bought four juicy apples at the farmer's market - No linking verb and no predicate adjective.
D. The weather today seems very humid to me - "Humid" describes the subject "weather" and comes after the linking verb "seems," so it is a predicate adjective.
The correct answer is D: "The weather today seems very humid to me."
7. Predicate pronoun as a subject complement: A subject complement is a word or phrase that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject. In this case, we are specifically looking for a predicate pronoun.
A. The last arrivals were Joe and I - "I" should be "me" since it is the object of the preposition "and."
B. This year's soccer champions were Lana and me - The pronoun "me" correctly renames the subject "Lana and me."
C. The tribute deeply touched my brother and me - Similar to option A, "me" should be used instead of "I."
D. My boyfriend became my best friend - No subject complement is present in this sentence.
The correct answer is B: "This year's soccer champions were Lana and me."
Therefore, the correct answers are:
5. C - My dog is the master of the household.
6. D - The weather today seems very humid to me.
7. B - This year's soccer champions were Lana and me.
