This question refers to the short story "The Cask of Amontillado", by Edgar Allan Poe. More specifically, it refers to the first paragraph, where the mentioned words can be found:
THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
Answer and Explanation:
The speaker's word choice reveals a lot about his emotional state. He is clearly angry for having been offended by Fortunato, even though he never reveals what the offense was. He has a vengeful feeling toward his "friend", and he is also clearly determined to not only carry out his revenge, but to also remain unpunished. We can also tell that, in spite of his anger, he is able to remain cold, speaking of his murderous decision in tranquil yet decisive tone.

Answer:
8. Yadier and Max are BROTHERS.
✔Predicate noun
9. Tyler handed KENTASIA the list.
✔Indirect object
Explanation:
The above are the correct answers.
Predicate noun is known to be a noun or noun phrase which gives additional information about the subject of the sentence. They follow linking verbs because they are there to show a state of being. Some of the linking verbs that come before predicate noun: is, are, am, was, were, being, and been.
So, "BROTHERS" is the predicate noun that gives us more information about Yadier and Max.
Indirect Object is that part of the sentence that gives us the answer to whom or for whom the direct object was given. It gives more information on who receives the action. In other words, indirect object receives the direct object.
In the No. 9 sentence, Tyler is the subject, handed is the verb, the list is the direct object. To whom was the list given? KENTASIA.
