How is the entire noun clause used in the sentence?
"For some young scientists, the burning question is where the next discovery will occur."
A. Object of a preposition
B. Subject
C. Predicate nominative
D. Direct object
Answer (2)
The noun clause "where the next discovery will occur" is used as a subject in the sentence because it corresponds with the predicate "is".
The noun clause "where the next discovery will occur" serves as a predicate nominative in the sentence because it follows the linking verb "is" and renames or provides more information about the subject. This means the correct answer is C. Predicate nominative.
