A. Jerry looks at the map.





B. Jerry looks ill today.





C. Jerry looks into the microscope.





d. Jerry looks disdainfully at the pile of laundry.





I think its D.

No, disdainfully is an adverb. --see the - ly


B. Jerry looks ill because ill describes Jerry.


A predicate adjective describes the subject but is in the predicate and has a linking verb.





A and B have prepositional phrases in the predicate:


at the map and into the microscope.

others are predicate adverbs.


trust me.
