The correct answer is: A: president. Predicate nominative (also called predicate noun) is a word in sentence which <span>completes a linking verb and renames the subject. The examples of linking verbs are: is, are, was, am, were, be, being (the helping verb); look, smell, taste, touch, sound (the sense verbs); and there are also verbs like: seem, appear, become, stay, turn, etc. The verb with the predicate nominative can always be replaced with "equals". Example: Mr. Robinson is professor. Professor is predicate nominative, and the sentence would mean the same, if it was written like this: Mr. Robinson equals professor.</span>

In the passage below from Uncle Tom's Cabin, the slaveholder Shelby talks about Tom, the slave he plans to give to a slave trade
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The ironic thing about the way Shelby describes Tom is:

2. Tom is clearly a more moral person than Shelby.

Explanation:

Tom was loyal to Shelby. So loyal that he could have escaped to Canada with some money, but didn't. However, Shelby is not loyal to Tom. Even though he describes him in a positive way, he is still giving him away as if he were not a person, but a mere merchandise. Tom's loyalty and honesty show he is a moral person. Shelby, on the other hand, does not seem to possess any of those qualities. Even if he is considered a good man by society, he still does not see Tom as an equal, as a human being.
