A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb. It modifies the subject of the sentence. For example:
Movies are popular throughout Europe and America.
Popular is a predicate adjective, because it modifies Movies and comes after the linking verb are. Linking verb examples:
-am
-are
-is
-was
-were
-be
-being
-been
-appear
-seem
-remain
-etc.
In the case of your sentence "Nearly 150 years later a talented Ballet dancer appeared in the same city", you should break apart the sentence.
The basic structure of linking verbs are:
_subject_|_linking verb_\_predicate noun_
_subject_|_linking verb_\_predicate adjective_
For example:
-I am calm. Calm is a Predicate noun
-The storm is frightening. Frightening is a present participle acting as a predicate adjective
If you use all of these tips, you should come up with the answer:
*drum roll*
*pause for effect*
Talented
To get this you list out the adjectives:
-talented
-same
-ballet
-later
Later comes after a noun
Ballet comes after an adjective
Same comes after an article
So talented is the only one that comes after an article acting as a linking verb, therefore making talented a predicate adjective.
