Answer 1

Answer:

B. The cake (S) tastes (V) delicious (C).

The Subject-Verb-Complement (SVC) pattern consists of:

• Subject (S): The doer of the action or the topic of the sentence.

• Verb (V): A linking verb (e.g., be, seem, taste, feel, become).

• Complement (C): A word or phrase that describes or identifies the subject, often an adjective or noun.
