Answer 2

a] at is a preposition, no longer an adjective b] sick sick is a noun OR an adjective so this is a threat c] into is a preposition, no longer an adjective d] disdainfully is an ADVERB (describes the verb) the in basic terms available answer is B. And once you look on the sentence: Jerry looks sick immediately. you'll discover that the adjective sick describes the problem, Jerry, so this is a predicate adjective.

Answer 3

C is the correct answer.
A predicate adjective is a word that describes the thing that is being acted upon. In this case the thing that is being acted upon is the sauce, not 'I' who is the 'doer' (subject) of the sentence. 'Bitterly' describes the sauce and is therefore the predicate adjective.
