1. D; a good way to find predicate nominative is that it essentially describes the subject. Mrs. Randoll being the subject- teacher describes her.
2. A: A predicate adjective modifies the subject in someway. In this case, she becomes "skillful"
3. C: A direct object answers the question of what? or who? She makes delicious what? Oh, desserts you say... then this must be a direct object.
4. D: direct object. Jessica bakes what? Pies!
As an FYI: indirect objects are rare and the sentence has to first have a direct object. So if there's no direct object, you can automatically eliminate IO. An example of one would be: They sent him mail. They is the subject. sent is the verb. And they sent what? "mail" so that's the direct object, making "him" the indirect object. Long story short... learn direct objects... and you won't have to even consider if there's an indirect unless you encounter a sentence that already has a direct, but the question asks about another word.
