b. can be educators, administrators, or supervisors
c. nurses can be
d. can be

The correct answer is B. Can be educators, administrators, or supervisors

Explanation:

According to grammar, the predicate refers to one of the main parts that compose a sentence besides the subject, which is the agent that carries out the main action in a sentence or is related to it. This means the predicate is mainly the main action or main verb of the sentence and any other information related to this action or the sentence complement. In the case of the sentence "Nurses can be educators, administrators, or supervisors" the subject is "Nurses" as this is the agent of the sentence, while other words of the sentence are the predicate composed by the main action "can be" and the complement "educators, administrators, or supervisors" that define what nurses can be. Thus, the predicate is "can be educators, administrators, or supervisors" as this is composed of the main action and the sentence complement which is what the predicate is about.

The main theme in Emerson's essay on Self Reliance is Individualism. the philophy that emphazises the moral worth of the individual. In it, Emerson urges his readers to be self-suficient, not to follow blindly doctrines but their inner moral compass. He makes the point that a man, in order to be a full being, needs but himself, and sometimes away from society. This can be read along the lines: A man is to carry himself  in the presence of all opposition, as if every thing were titular and ephemeral but he.

The textual evidence to support how Emerson's views of individualism relate to ideas of Transcendentalism can be read in the following lines: He who would gather immortal palms must not be hinderted by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. This idea alone is the basis of Transcendentalism, the belief that each person, individually,  has to find an original relation to the universe.
