Explanation:

Let's analyze each sentence:

Sentence (7)

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

Sentence (8)

The sentence is "The sick soldiers in Crimea looked on her as an angel." The underlined noun is "soldiers". "The sick soldiers" is the one performing the action of "looked on", so it is the subject.

Sentence (9)

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

Sentence (10)

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

Sentence (11)

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

Sentence (12)

The sentence is "Her death brought great sorrow to her Christian friends." The underlined noun is "sorrow". "brought great sorrow" – "sorrow" is what was brought, so it is the direct object.

Sentence (13)

The sentence is "Oh, Peter, said an orphan child, Dorcas often fed me!" The underlined noun is "Peter". The child is addressing Peter directly, so it is a direct address.

Sentence (14)

The sentence is "Dorcas' generosity brought God much glory." The underlined noun is "generosity". "Dorcas' generosity" is the one performing the action of "brought" (the subject of the sentence), so it is the subject.

Sentence (15)

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

Sentence (16)

The sentence is "Through the miracle at Joppa, many unbelievers trusted the Lord." The underlined noun is "miracle". In the prepositional phrase "Through the miracle", "miracle" is the object of the preposition "Through", so it is the object of a preposition.
