B) Predicate adjective(s)
C) Both predicate nominative(s) and predicate adjective(s)
D) None of the above

Answer 1

The subject complement in the sentence "The Marliave Ristorante has always been my favorite one" is a predicate nominative, which renames the subject using the noun phrase "my favorite one." The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the sentence "The Marliave Ristorante has always been my favorite one," the subject is "The Marliave Ristorante" and the linking verb is "has been." The subject complement following the linking verb is "my favorite one." In this case, the subject complement is a predicate nominative because it renames the subject.

It uses a noun phrase "my favorite one" that refers back to the subject, "The Marliave Ristorante." Thus, the correct answer to the question is option A) Predicate nominative(s). The correct option is A.
