Asked by Carrot
Which sentence contains a predicate noun?
A. The walk through the tunnel was eerie.
B. I bought my mom a cookbook for her birthday.
C. My dog is a master of the household.
D. The ground is very uneven.
I think it's A or B. Could you provide me with help and if you have an explanation or article to help me understand please give me that rather than the answer. I couldn't find a good article that I understand. Thanks!

So would it be B?

No. ‘Bought’ is an action verb.
Predicate nouns also are the same as the subject. ‘He’ and ‘brother’ in my sentence refer to the same person.
