9.whats the compound predicate."the boys," as they were called, amused and delighted audiences everywhere.
a. were
b. called
c. delighted
d. none

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

c. delighted

Explanation:

A predicate is the part of the sentence containing at least a verb or more that states something about the subject of the sentence like an action, a condition or a state. When the subject of a sentence has two or more verbs or verb phrases joined by a conjunction, the sentence has a compound predicate.

In the sentence, the compound predicate is “amused” and “delighted audiences everywhere” because these are verbs and phrase verbs respectively joined by the conjunction “and” that state something about “the boys” (the subject).

Both of these are texts, essays, and not poetry or plays, which is why those answers are also incorrect. The texts give with what the writers can do to make their writing better. Non-fiction or nonfiction is content whose creator, in good faith, thinks responsibility for the truth or correctness of the events, people, or knowledge performed.
