Hello :)
A linking verb is a verb that describes a subject, a linking verb connects a noun and a predicate.These verbs always link subjects to something that further describes the subject of the sentence.
A does not contain a linking verb, but it does contain a helping verb; "has". B does not contain a linking verb, but it does also contain a helping verb; "are" C doesn't contain a linking verb, but some might get this mixed up because is has the word have which is a linking verb, but in front of that word it says "could" indicating that it didn't happen. D does contain a linking verb "have been" this indicates that they've been feeling this way. <em>The hockey players</em> is the noun and<em> </em><em>anxious about the match is the </em>predicate.
So i'm inferring that the answer is D
Grizzly bears are omnivores.
Answer:
The answer are the words "stalk and defenseless."
Explanation:
The words that make it obvious how the author feels about the birds are stalk and defenseless because the author is describing how the fish in the lake fall victim to the birds. It seems the author does not like the birds for their instinct to stalk their prey by watching the fish in the lake closely. The author seems dismayed that it would only take the ospreys a moment to catch the fish who have no way to defend themselves against the birds.
I'm kind of confused as to what you're asking, but this looks like an outline to me. It's easier to see if you lay it out like this:
Introduction
I. Hook: You see them everywhere you look, sometimes out playing or other times in a house.
II. Topic sentence: three areas of information about cats.
A. Cats are very intelligent animals.
B. Cats give off tail signals.
C. Cats are territorial animals.
See? It seems like a plan for an essay, so the correct answer would be D. outlining.
