Answer:

<em>The sentence's complete linking verb is "</em><em>might have been."</em>

Explanation:

A <u>linking verb</u> reveals a relationship between the subject and the complement, that is the part of the sentence that follows the verb, because it provides information about that subject. Unlike other verbs, <u>linking verbs</u> carry no action: they simply link the subject to its complement.

Some of the most common examples of linking verbs are <em>to become, to appear, to seem</em>, or <em>to be</em>. This last verb is the one used in the sentence, and its full form in this case uses a modal verb -<em>might</em>- and the present perfect form.

The correct answer is "might have been". - all these words are part of the complete verb.


 A linking verb links the subject of the sentence (here "the reporter" ) to something that is said about the subject ("right... about the approaching storm")

When a pronoun does not agree in number or person with an antecedent that appears earlier in the sentence, what kind of error oc
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The kind of error that occurs is:

B. a pronoun shift error.

Explanation:

Take a look at the following sentence:

"One could have done better if we had studied harder."

See how the sentence begins by using "one" and then suddenly shifts to "we"? This is an example of a pronoun shift error. The pronoun "we" does not agree with "one".

Let's analyze another example:

"Someone is knocking; and they seem to be in a hurry."

Although that is a common structure in colloquial speech, it is incorrect. "Someone" is a third-person singular word, so the pronouns that refer to it should be "he" or "she". "They" is a third-person plural pronoun. Therefore, this example too shows a pronoun shift error.
