To identify the italicized part of the sentence, you need to understand the grammatical function of each word in the sentence.
In the given sentence, "All of the operators are efficient," the italicized word is "efficient." To identify its grammatical function, we need to break down the sentence:
- "All" is a determiner, modifying "operators."
- "of the operators" is a prepositional phrase that tells us which operators are being referred to.
- "are" is the linking verb that connects the subject to the predicate.
- "efficient" is the predicate adjective because it describes the subject "operators."
Therefore, the italicized part, "efficient," is functioning as the predicate adjective in the sentence.
