Jessica an excellent skier. which verb completes the sentence with a linking verb a. will coach b. knows c. followed d. will be

The correct answer is D. Will be

Explanation:

In grammar, a linking verb is a type of verb that links or connect the subject or agent in the sentence to a noun or adjective in the predicate and through this relationship describes the subject or agent. Most common linking verbs include verbs such as be, look, seem or become that describe some state, condition or relationship that is not controlled by the subject, contrary to describing an action as in other types of verbs. Considering this, from the list provided the only linking verb is the verb to be in its future form or "will be" as this verb connects the subject "Jessica" to the adjective and noun "an excellent skier" and does not describe an action controlled by Jessica but rather a possible future condition or situation. Thus, the verb that completes the sentence with a linking verb is D. Will be.

boccaccio employs the voice of his narrator dioneo to represent his ideas on the tension between masculinity and femininity.  while dioneo excites the members of the brigata and recognizes women for their unique skills and independent ideas, he concludes the decameron with a story reminiscent of the society from which these young aristocrats escaped, revealing misogynistic overtones.  dioneo boccaccio is able to explore the gender disparity which is inherent in 14th century florentine society.
