Identify the italicized word. The day of the big game was *exciting*.

English
1 answer:
ELEN [110]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

predicate adjective

Explanation:

The day of the big game was <em>*exciting</em>*. The word <em>exciting</em> is an adjective and it has been placed in the predicate of the sentence. Therefore, it says something about the subject :<em> The day of the big game</em>. What does it say about this? It gives qualitative information; it tells what the day of the big game was like for the speaker. The speaker thinks it was exciting, so she has linked the day of the big game with exciting through the verb <em>to be</em>, which is a linking verb. Therefore, <em>exciting</em> functions as a <em>predicate adjective. </em>

What does bias have to do with comparison and contrast
lianna [129]
Bias means when someone uses favoritism. When you are being unfair by making your opinion make you chose a certain options. For example, someone was asked to chose a contestant on a dance competition by their turns and facial expression. You saw the one of the two contestants earlier before the competition and they said said "THAT is the judge?" woah there are old. That made you upset so you chose the other contestant because you were mad. If you make your own opinions about something you are comparing then you are not being fair about one subject you talk about in Comparison and Contrast. 

Hope this helps you out! #UrWelcome
