Answer:

B) George Washington was the first president of the United States

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because a predicate nominative or predicate noun completes a linking verb and renames/explains the subject like similar to a pronoun.

The verbs in A, B, and C have verbs followed by adjectives. Those descriptive words like delicious and beautiful even fun, aren't nouns. This leaves B as the only correct answer, the first president, renames the noun, like a pronoun.

Hope this helps.

From yours truly to you,

Que.
