Select the predicate nominative phrase to complete the sentence. the goliath beetle is
a. named after a biblical giant
b. confused with other creatures
c. from the forests of africa
d. one of the worlds largest insects

D. One of the world's largest insects

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to understand what a predicative nominative means.

A predicate nominative (also called a predicate noun) is a word or group of words that completes a linking verb (is, am, are, was...) and renames the subject. Remember, predicate nominative is always a noun or a pronoun. A sentence will still make sense if to switch the predicate nominative and the subject, and a predicate nominative can always be replaced by the word equals.

Keeping this rule in mind, only option D is a predicate nominative, and the sentence will be - The Goliath beetle is one of the world's largest insects.
