Choose the sentence in which the verb is a linking verb. a

O B. He works at a gas station.
O C. His hours are long and busy.
• D. He to has walked to work from his house.

Answer 1

O C. His hours are long and busy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linking verbs are those words that act as a verb and also act as a link between the subject and other parts of the sentence. In other words, we can say linking verbs are used to connect a subject and other words that tell us more about the subject. And linking verbs are not the normal "action" verbs, but more of "is, am, are, was, were" etc.

Among the given sentences, option C has a linking verb "are". This linking verb tells us about the "long and busy" hours of the person "he".

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
