A. Tamara will fish at the seacoast this summer.
B. Will you buy some good fresh fish for dinner?
C. Fish are some of the most interesting animals on earth.
D. Trout are very beautiful fish.
Answer (2)
The answer is variant D because 'Trout are fish' Is a simple sentence and 'are fish' exprime a quality of the subject, so the verb 'are fish' meets the rules of the predicate nominative.
The word 'fish' is used as a predicate nominative in option D: 'Trout are very beautiful fish.' In this sentence, 'fish' renames the subject 'trout' after the linking verb 'are.' Therefore, D is the correct choice.
