Accepted Answer

### Sentence 2: Joe and his father are friendly.

- **Adjective/Noun linked to subject**: Underline "friendly"

### Sentence 3: We were excited by the good news.

### Sentence 4: His face grew tired by the end of the day.
- **Linking Verb**: Circle "grew"
- **Adjective/Noun linked to subject**: Underline "tired"

### Sentence 5: That rock music sounds loud!
- **Linking Verb**: Circle "sounds"
- **Adjective/Noun linked to subject**: Underline "loud"
- **Arrow**: Draw an arrow from "loud" back to "That rock music"

### Sentence 6: You are a beautiful girl.
- **Linking Verb**: Circle "are"
- **Adjective/Noun linked to subject**: Underline "beautiful" (or "girl" - since "are" links "You" to "girl" as a predicate noun, but "beautiful" is the adjective describing "girl". Depending on the focus, if it's the noun: underline "girl"; if adjective: underline "beautiful". Typically, for predicate adjectives, it's the adjective, for predicate nouns, the noun. Here "are" links "You" to "girl" (predicate noun) and "beautiful" modifies "girl". So:
  - Linking Verb: Circle "are"
  - Adjective/Noun linked to subject: Underline "beautiful" (adjective) or "girl" (noun). Let's go with "beautiful" as the adjective linked, or "girl" as the predicate noun. If following the first example (which linked to adjective "hungry"), we'll use the adjective: Underline "beautiful"
  - Arrow: Draw an arrow from "beautiful" (or "girl") back to "You"

### Sentence 7: They became friends.
- **Linking Verb**: Circle "became"
- **Adjective/Noun linked to subject**: Underline "friends" (predicate noun)
- **Arrow**: Draw an arrow from "friends" back to "They"

### Sentence 8: The kitchen floor seems dirty.

- **Arrow**: Draw an arrow from "dirty" back to "The kitchen floor"

### Sentence 9: Your perfume smells delightful!
- **Linking Verb**: Circle "smells"
- **Adjective/Noun linked to subject**: Underline "delightful"
- **Arrow**: Draw an arrow from "delightful" back to "Your perfume"

### Sentence 10: We were dry and during the thunderstorm. (Note: There might be a typo, maybe "We were dry during the thunderstorm." or "We were dry and [something] during the thunderstorm.") Assuming "We were dry during the thunderstorm."
- **Linking Verb**: Circle "were"
- **Adjective/Noun linked to subject**: Underline "dry"
- **Arrow**: Draw an arrow from "dry" back to "We"

If the original sentence 10 is "We were dry and [maybe 'scared'?] during the thunderstorm", adjust the underlined word accordingly, but with the given text, we'll work with "dry".
