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)

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

I believe the best answers are:

blank 1 -- C) that has

blank 2 -- A) NO CHANGE

Explanation:

The original sentence, "...the US government has the power to take custody of land when having historical significance or great natural beauty" is a bit ambiguous. Who has historical significance? We assume it is the land. But, in the way it is phrased, it could also be the government. To eliminate such ambiguity, the best option is letter C) that has. It will help determine a certain land can be taken. What land? The one that has historical significance.

As for the sentence, "The designation of a territory as a national park, national monument, or other types of protected area can limit activities," I don't see any reasons for changes. Especially because of the word "other", which needs to be completed by a plural noun - eliminating options B and C. Letter D wouldn't be incorrect, but the transformation of "protected area" into an adjective for "types" is unnecessary. The sentence is perfect the way it is and, therefore, needs NO CHANGE.
