Answer:

Predictive

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a way of modifying the subject of the sentence following a verb, in order to express a certain amount of doubt or discussion instead of sounding completely imperative. For example, "The shoes look expensive" is a sentence with the predictive adjective "expensive," as it sits after the verb "look" but it's talking about the shoes. Another way to form this sentence could be "the expensive shoes," putting the adjective before the subject.

Another example: "I think the food is spoiled," where "spoiled" is the predictive adjective.
