Which of the following sentences has a compound predicate? A. She washed the shells and dried them in the sun.
B. She placed the shells in a plastic bag while he dried himself off.
C. While he swam, she collected shells.
D. She raced along the path to beat him to the beach.

Answers

A. She washed the shells and dried them in the sun.

 The sentence is “She washed the shells and dried them in the sun”. A compound predicate actually consists of two or more than two verbs having the same subject and joined by any conjunction like “or” or “and”. As far as the given sentence is concerned, we see that “She” is the subject and the subject is doing two different things.  This is the reason behind taking this sentence as a compound predicate.

An active listener is someone who interrupts the speaker to ask questions. Please select the best answer from the choices provided.a. True
b. False

Answers

It is false that an active listener is someone who interrupts the speaker to ask questions. That is just rude, it's not a quality of an active listener. You can listen to someone actively without interrupting them all the time, and you can show that to them by nodding often, and reacting to something they say, or ask them questions after they've finished talking, but not in the middle of their speech.
