Question

Identify the function of the noun clause as subject, predicate noun, direct object, indirect object, object of the preposition, or appositive.


One reason for the dominance is that the sport is extremely important in the countries with successful teams.

Answer 1

In the sentence "One reason for the dominance is that the sport is extremely important in the countries with successful teams," the noun clause "that the sport is extremely important in the countries with successful teams" functions as a **predicate noun** (or predicate nominative).

It follows the linking verb "is" and provides more information about the subject "One reason."
