The only car for him is one of those new GTO's.

Answer 1

The sentence's subject is 'The only car,' the transitive verb is 'is,' and the noun phrase 'one of those new GTO's' functions as the subject complement. Practice exercises offer correct use of homophones such as 'hear/here' and common confusions like 'affect/effect.'

Step-by-step explanation:

In the sentence 'The only car for him is one of those new GTO's,' the subject is 'The only car,' the transitive verb is 'is,' and the subject complement is 'one of those new GTO's,' a noun phrase. Prepositional phrases include '(for him)' and '(of those new GTO's).' There are no indirect objects or object complements in this sentence.
