Explanation:

Question (7)

The sentence is "Florence Nightingale was a wise woman who revolutionized the nursing profession." The underlined noun is "woman". In this sentence, "woman" follows the linking verb "was" and renames the subject "Florence Nightingale", so it functions as a predicate nominative.

Question (8)

The sentence is "The sick soldiers in Crimea looked on her as an angel." The underlined noun is "soldiers". "Soldiers" is the main noun in the subject "The sick soldiers", so it functions as the subject.

Question (9)

The sentence is "She wisely gave God all her life for His service." The underlined noun is "God". In the sentence, "gave" is the verb, and "God" is the recipient of the action "gave", so it functions as the indirect object.

Question (10)

The sentence is "Dorcas, a Godly woman, ministered to the poor and needy in Bible times." The underlined noun is "woman". "Woman" is a noun that renames "Dorcas", providing additional information about her, so it functions as an appositive.

Question (11)

The sentence is "She served God with her whole life." The underlined noun is "life". In the sentence, "with" is a preposition, and "life" is the object of the preposition "with", so it functions as the object of the preposition.

Question (12)

The sentence is "Her death brought great sorrow to her Christian friends." The underlined noun is "sorrow". In the sentence, "brought" is the verb, and "sorrow" is the thing that was brought, so it functions as the direct object.

Question (13)

The sentence is "‘Peter,’ said an orphan child, ‘Dorcas often fed me!’" The underlined noun is "Peter". In the sentence, "Peter" is being addressed directly, so it functions as direct address.

Question (14)

The sentence is "Dorcas’ generosity brought God much glory." The underlined noun is "generosity". In the sentence, "brought" is the verb, and "glory" is the thing that was brought, so it functions as the direct object. Wait, no, the underlined noun here is "generosity"? Wait, no, let's re - check. Wait, the sentence is "Dorcas’ generosity brought God much glory." Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, if the underlined noun is "glory", then "glory" is the direct object as it is the thing brought by "generosity". But according to the original, the underlined noun is "generosity"? No, the user's question (14) is "Dorcas’ generosity brought God much glory." Let's assume the underlined noun is "glory". Then "glory" is the direct object. But maybe the underlined noun is "generosity"? No, "generosity" is the subject. Wait, maybe there is a mistake. Wait, let's re - examine. The sentence structure: "Dorcas’ generosity" is the subject, "brought" is the verb, "God" is the indirect object, and "glory" is the direct object. So if the underlined noun is "glory", then it's the direct object.

Question (15)

The sentence is "Generosity becomes a blessing to those who give and to those who receive." The underlined noun is "blessing". In the sentence, "becomes" is a linking verb, and "blessing" follows it and renames the subject "Generosity", so it functions as a predicate nominative.

Answer:

1. predicate nominative
2. subject
3. indirect object
4. appositive
5. object of the preposition
6. direct object
7. direct address
8. direct object (assuming underlined is "glory")
9. predicate nominative
