Linking verbs are verbs that do not express actions, but conditions or states, such as all forms of the verb "to be," and the verbs "to become" and "to seem." <u>Their function is to connect the subject of a sentence to a word that identifies or describe the subject.</u> Take a look at the following examples:

William <u>is</u> excited about his promotion.

<em>The linking verb "is" connects the subject "William" to the word or adjective "excited" which describes the subject. </em>

The winter scene <u>was</u> mysterious.

<em>The verb to be "was" links the subject "the winter scene" to a word that describes it: "mysterious."</em>

She <u>seems</u> sad

<em>The verb "seems" links the subject "see" to the adjective "sad."</em>

A
Not correct. She could have been using references to anything. Not all her references are from literature. Southern Bitter Wormwood is a reference to the wormwood plant which is medicinal in nature and it is very bitter. 

C
Maybe. But there's a better answer. It's not her personality we are drawn to although it is quite bubbly if this passage is any kind of indication. It is the joy she takes in recognizing that Beowulf likes a good drink and he  wanted her to join him and she was delighted by the invitation.

D
She could have been talking about anything that engaged her. It just happened to be mostly about the classics.

B
This is the best answer. C and D are close, but it really is B that we are attracted to. We have our eyes opened to the grand people in books. More than that we feel her joy in Beowulf, her polite tea conversation with Oliver Twist, her astonishing acceptance of the meaning of Sydney Carton's statement at the end of a Tale of Two Cities.

Which word correctly completes the sentence? For __________ are you baking those cookies? A. who B. whom
olasank [31]

I also agree that the answer is B: whom

in this sentence you are using the  preposition + whom grammar structure. Whom is considered an object pronoun and is used when asking who will receive the action, which in this case, I believe is, baking those cookies. Hopefully  this makes sense and good luck.

Answer:

It is trying to ask "What dominant (biggest or strongest) trait is causing more problems."

A dominant trait is the trait that is a big part of who you are and affects your life heavily.

So think of the most dominant trait the main character has, and reflect on how much it affects their life and/or makes it hard for them.

I hope this helps.
