Answer 1

The subject complement follows a linking verb. It completes the meaning of the subject by defining or giving more information about it.

In the first example, Pico de Neblina is the subject. Brazil's highest mountain is the subject complement because it states something significant about Pico de Neblina.

Answer 2

noun, noun phrase, adjective or adjective phrase that gives more information about the subject in the sentence

For example the first sentence, the subject would be Pico de Neblina and the complementing subject would be Brazil's highest mountain because it is giving more information about the subject Pico de Neblina.
