The correct answer is: A: president. Predicate nominative (also called predicate noun) is a word in sentence which 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.

Help me find the right aswer of gaps 2 and 5:

Answer:

The correct answers are:

2. unattractive

5. However

Explanation:

In sentence number 2, the correct answer would be unattractive, as we can notice the shop windows discourage shoppers because of their emptiness. Bustling means full of activity, impressive means special, important or really large, so those options cannot be considered as a correct answer. Option A could be the correct answer, but unattractive fits better at the context then frequent.

In sentence number 5, the correct answer would be however. Because introduces causes and reasons, by introducing a subordinate clause, which needs a main clause to make it complete. Therefore, it cannot be considered a correct answer. Although means in spite of something and it can be used at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence, but it doesn't have a comma afterward and it cannot be considered as a correct answer.

We use otherwise to introduce a thought or an idea that contains an opposite claim or statement and to express our disagreement. It connects two clauses where the second clause (which contains otherwise) express what would have happened if the action in a first sentence hadn't occurred. Therefore, the correct answer is however. We use however to introduce a statement that expresses contrast with the previous sentence.
