Which word in the sentence is the predicate adjective?

When lightning struck, the surrounding landscape appeared eerie.

Aappeared
BWhen
Ceerie
Dlandscape

Verified Answer :

Ceerie because a predicate adjective is something that modifies the subject of a sentence. The subject of this sentence would be "the surrounding landscape" because we are addressing the landscape itself, and the predicate adjective, or what modifies the subject, would be eerie. (appeared would be the linking verb, because it links the predicate adj. to the subject of the sentence.) I hope this helped!
