Discussion
In the sentence The truth is that he did not attend the classes, the underlined linguistic unit functions as .................. .
Answer: D
The underlined clause functions as a Complement.
In The truth is that he did not attend the classes, the verb is is a linking (copular) verb. What follows it does not receive an action; it says what the subject, the truth, is. So the that-clause is a subject complement (a noun clause in predicative position).
The subject is the truth, and a linking verb takes neither a direct nor an indirect object, which rules out the other options.
