The infinitive is functioning as the predicate nominative. "Plan" is the subject (with Joel's as a modifier for "plan"). Since "is" is a linking verb, it is a predicate nominative and not a direct object.

The correct answer is B. As a predicate nominative

Explanation:

A predicate nominative also called a subject complement is a type of sentence complement that is introduced after a linking verb (such as verb to be, seem, look and feel, which are verbs that do not have an object), complementing the subject of the sentence mainly as it renames the subject. Thus, considering in the sentence "This summer, Joel's plan is to travel" the main verb is a linking verb (Verb to be) there is not an object, but a predicate nominative or subject complement which is the infinitive (basic form of a verb) "to travel", also, as it is stated about a predicate s nominative it renames the subject which means "to travel" is the same than "Joel's plan". Thus, in this sentence, the infinitive "to travel" is a predicate nominative as it is connected with a linking verb and renames the subject which is "Joel's plan".

tangare [24]
<span>
<span>To determine the correct option you have to make sure you understand the meaning of the phrase represented above. Literal meaning of “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is that the perception of beauty is subjective. Actually, everything in the eye of beholder is subjective as it refers to person's own perception and understanding things. Beauty is an abstract term that people understand in different ways so this phrase is definitely an example of subjectivity.</span></span>

1) "A Quilt of a Country" is an argumentative essay. In lines 1-13 the author defines or
Kipish [7]

1. The first idea constructed by the author of the essay on lines 1-13 is that America is a nation resulting from pieces of various nations. This means that America is a culturally and socially diverse country, where each person has their own experiences and concepts and where each person has a different origin from each other. The second idea that the author raises is that this diversity should mean that all citizens are equal, but that is not what happens, since the history of America is told by events, where the freedoms and rights of groups of people were denied because they were not considered free and of equal value.

2. The author shows that these events that show injustice and denial of rights (such as lynching of blacks, denial of rights to women, murder of gays) are failures in the freedom and equality that America preaches, which indicates that the nation had great failures and it is these failures that question the country's real capacity to be fair and successful.

3. In line 22, the puzzle that the author refers to is related to the fact that as an increasingly individualistic country where many citizens proliferate, the feeling of superiority manages to remain united and in community in adverse moments?

4. The author believes that the country is divided, fragmented, because most of the time, citizens are on the verge of starting a fight with their peers because they do not see them as equals, but as something different and a citizen who does not belong there. . To exemplify this, the author states that in America an Arab can be a taxi driver for a Jew, or, a Jew can be a taxi driver for an Arab, even if both are part of American society, they do not see themselves as equals they can raise hate speech against each other.
