Answer 1

1. Linking verb: is; Predicate nominative: Penelope CORRECT

2. Linking verb: will be; Predicate nominative: Jason PN IS WRONG

3. Linking verb: is; Predicate nominative: Mrs. Furillo PN IS WRONG

4. Linking verb: was; Predicate nominative: Rocky Marciano PN IS WRONG

6. Linking verb: have been; Predicate nominative: leon PN IS WRONG

You're mixing up the subject with the predicate nominative. PNs are nouns or pronouns that follow the linking verbs.

okay thank you!

Are these the correct Predicate nominatives?

2. president
3. "Night and Day"
4. champion
5. one

All are right except 6. Part is the object of the preposition, for. The predicate nominate is choice.
