the young lady looked radiant in her new dress.
gabriel is the new homecoming king for our school.
steven has been practicing judo for a few years.
trevor took the boxes of food to the truck.

Explanation:

1. A linking verb connects a subject to a subject complement (word/phrase that describes the subject). "Looked" in "The young lady looked radiant..." is a linking verb (describes the lady's appearance).
2. "Is" in "Gabriel is the new homecoming king..." is a linking verb (connects Gabriel to his title).
3. "Has been practicing", "took", "bought" are action verbs, not linking verbs.

Answer:

• The young lady looked radiant in her new dress.
• Gabriel is the new homecoming king for our school.
