Answer:
Dear _________________,
My parents are inviting friends and family to their wedding anniversary party, and they can't seem to think of any one else to invite, so they asked me. So, I was wondering if you'd join me at their party? I would really appreciate it!
Sincerely,

I think the word creative is being underlined here and we are asked to determine which part of speech it is. The choices are as follows:
a. compound verb
<span>b. indirect object </span>
<span>c. predicate nominative </span>
<span>d. predicate adjective
</span>
I think option D is the answer. It is a predicate adjective.
The chronology displayed in the excerpt is option 3) "Pope follows to invest in the cycling industry steps".
In this excerpt, the author is narrating Pope's interest in bikes as a way to make make business. Evidence in the text supports this view: "A Civil War veteran and entrepreneur, he wondered about the machine's possibilities as both a business venture and a means of transportation". In this part, the author describes Pope as entrepreneur and how he thought about the possibility of investing in bikes. Then, at the end of the excerpt, the author tells how Pope was convinced by the bikes' possible business success "the businessman suddenly saw the potential of traveling on two wheels."
