Question

Identify the linking verb in the sentence:
Though he appeared confident during the interview, he remained uncertain about the final outcome.

• A. appeared
• B. remained
• C. uncertain
• D. interview

Hint:

Common linking verbs include \textit{is, am, are, seem, appear, remain, become}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: A linking verb connects the subject with a subject complement rather than showing action. Explanation: In the sentence, \textit{remained} links the subject “he” with the adjective “uncertain.” It does not show action but describes the subject’s state. Although \textit{appeared} can also function as a linking verb, the question focuses on the clause describing the final state. Thus, option (B) is correct.
