In the sentence "Carmen is a volunteer at the local hospital," the underlined word "volunteer" is a predicate nominative.
To identify the sentence in which the underlined word is a predicate nominative, we need to determine which sentence contains a subject that is equal to the predicate. A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject.
Let's examine the sentences provided:
1. Carmen is very interested in science, especially biology and anatomy.
2. Carmen plans to pursue a career as a doctor.
3. Carmen is a volunteer at the local hospital.
In sentence 1, the word "interested" is a verb, not a predicate nominative. So, this sentence does not have a predicate nominative.
In sentence 2, the word "doctor" is a predicate nominative as it renames or identifies the subject "Carmen." Therefore, this sentence contains a predicate nominative.
In sentence 3, the word "volunteer" is also a verb. Therefore, this sentence does not have a predicate nominative.
Hence, the sentence where the underlined word is a predicate nominative is: "Carmen plans to pursue a career as a doctor."
