* her
Let's break down why:
* Predicate Nominative: A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that renames the subject of a sentence. It follows a linking verb (like "was" in this case).
* Subject: The subject of the sentence is "it".
* Linking Verb: The linking verb is "was".
* Predicate Nominative: The word "her" renames the subject "it".
The sentence "You hoped it was she" does not use any predicate nominatives. While "she" is a pronoun, it is the object of the verb "hoped", not a predicate nominative.
