Answer:

Your answer would be that the verb above is a linking verb.

Explanation:

A linking verb is a type of verb that connects the subject to a predicate adjective or to a predicate nominative. It expresses a state of being; it is not an action verb.

Linking verbs can either serve to help rename or re-identify the subject or else serve to describe the subject. The first ones are used with a predicate nominative, that is, a noun that follows a linking verb that renames the subject (he is my friend). The second ones are used with a predicate adjective, that is, an adjective that follows a linking verb that renames the subject (John seems nice). In this case, the linking verb <em>look</em> has been used with a predicate adjective (the weather<em> looks</em> cold and dreary).

Which is a fact?
lana66690 [7]
The answer is:  [A]:  "<span>Rescue groups around the country place greyhounds in loving homes."
_____________________________
Consider the other answer choices:
_______________
[B]: "</span><span>Labradors bark more than greyhounds, so you don’t want one in your backyard."   This is not a "fact, how does one "KNOW" if one doesn't want one in one's backyard?  Even if it IS TRUE that labradors bark more than greyhounds, someone still might prefer to have a greyhound, even in one's backyard, for many reasons (e.g. one has reasons for preferring a greyhound; and one doesn't mind the "barking in the backyard" if one has a large home with a large background that is isolated from neighbors.
_________________________________
[C]:  "</span><span>Greyhounds make better pets than Labradors because they run faster."

Keywords: "better" and "because" —subjective and prone to interpretation.
_____________________________________
[D]: "</span><span>Labradors snore loudly at night and will keep you awake long after bedtime."
 </span>→<span> is NOT a "fact".  How does one know that labradors would keep one awake "long after bedtime"?  When, exactly, is one's "bedtime"?  "Where", exactly, does the labrador have to be during one's "bedtime"?  And will the loud snoring of a labrador at night (even if true) necessarily "keep you awake long after bedtime"? (You could be a very sound sleeper).
