Answer:
"often considered witty"
Explanation:
A subject complement is a word that describes the subject of a sentence that follows immediately after a linking verb. Like the name suggests, it complements the subject. It can either be a noun, adjective or pronoun.
Therefore, the subject complement from the sentence "Bret Hartes' poems and prose were often considered witty" is "often considered witty".

Disagree- strongly, loudly
walking- quickly, slowly
speak- loudly, fast
tumble- slightly, softly
follow- silently, hastily

Read Lost in the Fog, By Noah Brooks.
Which inference may BEST be drawn from the contents of the
cargo of the Lively Polly?
A. Lumber is heavy, which means the schooner is carrying too
much weight.
B. The people of San Francisco tend to dine in restaurants that
cook with a large amount of butter and eggs.
C. Eggs and butter are perishable, which indicates the journey
should be short.
D
The demand for fuel in San Francisco should allow the
captain to command a high price for the firewood.
Answer: C. Eggs and butter are perishable, which indicates the journey
should be short.
Explanation:
Brooks´story describes Lively Polly´s trip from Bolinas Bay to San Francisco, which usually takes between five and six hours with wind and tide favor. In this case, the cargo included firewood as well as butter and eggs. Since these last two items are perishable, the trip should be short to be able to sell them before they get rotten.
