Select the linking verb and the predicate noun or predicate adjective.

Question

In the epic poem The Iliad, the Trojan Horse initially seemed a harmless token of the Greek army's surrender, but it actually smuggled Greek soldiers into the city of Troy.

Answer 1

In the sentence provided, the linking verb is "seemed," and the predicate noun is "token."

The structure here shows that "the Trojan Horse" is linked to the noun "token" through the linking verb "seemed."
