Question

Which of the following is a predicate?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The lovely young ballet company

Explanation:

I will be completly honest! I am horrible at predicates so I looked it up and here is an example off the internet.

Here's an example. In the sentence "The wall is purple," the subject is "wall," the predicate adjective is "purple" and the linking verb is "is." So, it's subject, verb, and predicate adjective.
