Identify the sentence pattern. the hummingbird was green and red. a. subject-verb b. subject-verb-direct object c. subject-linking verb-predicate noun d. subject-linking verb-predicate adjective e. subject-verb-indirect object-direct object

The correct answer is D. subject-linking verb-predicate adjective

Explanation:

Sentence patterns are common structures in language composed of different elements arranged in order. In the case of "subject-linking verb-predicate adjective" this is one of the most common sentence patterns in English, and includes first a Subject which is a noun described or related to the verb; then a Linking verb such as be, smell, seem or become that connects the subject to the predicate; and finally a Predicate Adjective that contains words that describe or qualify the subject using adjectives rather than nouns.

This structure of the sentence " The hummingbird was green and red.", considering int his the firs element is the subject "The humming verb" this is followed by one common linking verb "was" (verb to be), and finally there are two adjectives "green and red" that are the predicate adjective as they describe the subject, and complete the meaning of the sentence.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
