No, not C, but you're close. What's the noun there?

You are correct! In the sentence, "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights leader," the predicate nominative is "civil rights." A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb (in this case, "was") and renames or identifies the subject ("Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.").

To determine the predicate nominative in a sentence, you can:

1. Identify the subject of the sentence, which is "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." in this case.
2. Find the linking verb, which is "was" here.
3. Look for a noun or pronoun that follows the linking verb and renames or identifies the subject. In this case, "civil rights" meets this description, so it is the predicate nominative.

Well done on correctly identifying the predicate nominative!
