You need to learn how to do these for yourself. First of all, you need to know what the parts of speech are and how to recognize them:

You also need to post what YOU THINK the answer is whenever you post a question. Then we can tell if you are having a particular problem or not -- and how to help you best.

A subject complement follows a linking or sense verb.... The complement will either modify or be identical to the subject. Look at the word "felt" in the two sentences.... Which of those has a word following felt that describes the subject?
Linking verbs - am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been
Sense verbs - sounds, feels, smells, seems, etc.
