Just some terminology before the actual question so you understand what "predicate nominative" really means.
Subject:
Discussing the one who does something or is something in the sentence.
Predicate: Discussing the action which the subject does in the sentence.

In this sentence:
Subject: Chess
Predicate: has always been one of Henry's favorite board games.

Nominative: Describing the subject (words following <em>to be, to seem, </em>etc.)
Accusative: Taking a direct object (such as <em>to have, to see, to tell, </em>etc.)
Dative: Taking an indirect object (such as <em>to go <u>to</u>, </em><em>to look <u>at</u>, </em><em>to say <u>to</u>, </em>etc.)
Genitive: Possessing sth. (<em>Henry's, his, of the United States, </em>etc.)
<em>*note that nominative uses linking words and accusative/dative use action verbs.</em>

If you look in the sentence we have here, <em>been</em> is a paste tense of <em>to be</em>.
It is describing the subject as being one of Henry's favorite board games, and is thus using the nominative.

However, the term predicate nominative is a bit more specific than that, it's not referring to that entire phrase. It is just the object of that predicate, what the subject is being renamed to. Usually you can substitute <em /><em>equal</em><em>s</em> in the sentence and it should still work.

In this sentence, the predicate nominative is <u>games</u>. (Chess = game)

AveGali [126]

The adjective modifying the name is the prepositional phrase, like "for a woman's" and "around the house." The words "for and around" are prepositions.

<h3>What are prepositions?</h3>

The complete question is attached to the image below.

Prepositions are the words used in the sentences to show the time, location, direction, and relation to the object. Some of the commonly used prepositions are below, at, under, around, for, on, in, etc.

In the sentence, for and around are prepositions and modify the other words in the sentences. "For" modifies, the writing, and "around" modifies the word cleaning.

Therefore, for and around are prepositions.

Hello!

1. Option D - a topic sentence.
Notice how the paragraph from the second question begins with the sentence "<span>There are several reasons why creating a plan for studying will benefit the student." The first paragraph does not start with a sentence which expresses its main idea, it just jumps right into details about picking a career.

2. Option A - To get the most out of studying for an exam, a plan can help.
This sentence restates the main idea and ends the paragraph.

3. Option B - Add a thesis statement.
This paragraph does not contain a statement to summarize its purpose. It lacks a thesis.</span>
