Answer:
C. The paragraph uses present-tense verbs. No infinitives are used. Sentences 4 and 5 contain gerunds.
Explanation:
Present tenses are tenses we use to talk about events that are taking place at the present time. There are four types of the present tense: present simple, present continuous, present perfect, and present perfect continuous. Examples of verbs used in the present tense in the given passage are: <em>depends, help, go, </em>and <em>think.</em>
The infinitive is the base form of a verb. It is usually preceded by <em>to</em>. There are no infinitives in the given passage.
A gerund is a noun derived from a verb by adding -<em>ing </em>to it. Examples of gerunds can be found in sentences 4 and 5: <em>feeling </em>and<em> staying.</em>
Answer:
The correct answer is <u>C</u>: predicate nominative.
Explanation:
Will's problem was <u>that he didn't know how to register for classes.</u>
Predicate nominative represents a group of words that completes a linking verb and renames the subject. A predicate nominative can be found after a linking verb.
In our example, the subject would be <em>Will's problem</em>, the linking verb would be <em>was</em>, while the rest of the sentence would represent a predicate nominative.
It would be B I believe. It is the most logical sentence and it fits the tone.
