Answer 1

Answer:

An adjective complement is a phrase that modifies an adjective i.e it describes or gives more information about the adjective.

A noun complement, also known as a subject complement, is a descriptor or modifier after a linking verb. This word complements the subject.

1) The horse seems to be your best friend.

here, "your best friend" complements or describes the subject i.e the horse.

2) The children become the future.

here, "the future" is the noun that complements "the children"

3) Mary remains a chocolate lover till today.

here, "a chocolate lover" complements "mary"

4) Mary remains especially kind to animals.

here, the adjective complement "especially" gives more information/description to the adjective "kind".

5) The cake smells very good.

here, "very" is the adjective complement that describes the adjective good.
