Final answer:
The correct answer is option c. A predicate adjective is the type of adjective that comes after a linking verb, serving to describe the subject of the sentence.
Step-by-step explanation:
The type of adjective that typically follows a linking verb is a predicate adjective. A predicate adjective is an adjective that describes the subject of the sentence and is connected to the subject by a linking verb. Linking verbs, such as 'seem', 'look', 'smell', 'sound', and 'become', do not show action but instead link the subject with more information about the subject itself.
For example, in the sentence 'The flowers smell fragrant,' 'fragrant' is a predicate adjective describing the noun 'flowers' and is linked to the subject by the linking verb 'smell'.
