    Correct Answer
    A. Predicate noun
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "predicate noun." In this sentence, "nurse" is a predicate noun because it renames the subject "my mother" and describes her occupation. A predicate noun is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject. In this case, "is" is the linking verb and "nurse" is the predicate noun.

    Explanation
    In the sentence, "I gave my mom a necklace for her birthday," the indirect object is "my mom." The indirect object is the recipient of the direct object, which in this case is "a necklace." The verb "gave" shows the action of giving, and the indirect object indicates who received the gift.
