Predicate noun should be the answer
What context is the phrase used in…we can’t answer it for you without this
Answer:
After reading the excerpt from Enrique’s Journey, it is noticed that the underlined phrases support the author’s purpose when they show that the worst part of the train ride may be over. So, the third option is the right answer.
Explanation:
This excerpt talks about the change of scenery when Enrique's train approaches a town. Enrique watches the men tending the corn, the women working in the kitchens, cowboys smiling and riding past the train, and fieldworkers working happily. There is also a change in the natural atmosphere. It changes into something peaceful. Mountains drawing closer, green fields and butterflies fluttering at the end of the journey. All these positive pointers make us hopeful that the worst part of the ride is over and now there would be better things coming in.
<span>"That these little creatures survive in these small pools of water" is the whole noun clause You could replace that whole noun clause with "That fact" which is a noun phrase and have a sentence That fact is amazing where "that fact" would be the subject.
Likewise, </span>this whole noun clause represents A SUBJECT of the sentence because it corresponds with the predicate "is".
