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)

Answer:

A. people have been spreading negative rumors about Gatsby's past.

Explanation:

When the narrator shows what the girl said about Gatsby, we can see that he is a controversial figure within the society that is inserted. Nobody knows much about him and with this mysterious past and the economic rise so fast that he presents, people start creating rumors and stories about him, many of these stories are negative, like the one that the girl heard.

With that, we can say that from the girl's speech, we can infer that people created negative rumors about Gatsby.

Why might Atticus not want his kids to know about the rest of his family?
bulgar [2K]

Atticus did not want his children in court because he knew they would be exposed to the lies, deceit, and racism endemic to the society in which his family resided and because of the abuse that would invariably be heaped upon his children's father by virtue of his willingness to defend Tom Robinson.
