Answer: Purchasing new planes for a military campaign
Explanation:
As per the United States Constitution, there are certain roles that only the Federal government and not the state governments can assume and one of them is national defense.
It is therefore the responsibility of the the federal government to ensure that the nation's armed forces are well equipped to defend the country and that includes purchasing new planes. Federal revenue is needed to do this which is why federal taxes would most suitably go towards this.
The rest of the options fall under the authority of state and local authorities.
A predicate nominative because "one" follows the verb "to be- was (past tense). A predicative nominative alwasys follows the verb to be in al of its forms and one should view it as "equals", as in, Langston Hughes equals on of the greatest poets of the Harlem Renaissance. A predicative adjective must modify the subject and is linked with a verb, but in this sentence "one" does not modify Hughes. Another trick for remembering is that if you were to switch the order of the sentence, it would still make sense; "One of the greatest poets of the Harlem Renaissance is Langston Hughes."
The answer to your question would be that the version of the sentence that has correctly placed commas is the following one: Noah, who draws comic books in his free time, wants to write a graphic novel. That is, your answer would be option A.
The clause set off with the commas is a non-restrictive relative clause. This means that it provides information which is considered non-essential to the meaning of the sentence and therefore can be dropped without altering its meaning. That is why they are set off with commas, parentheses or dashes.
