c. underline the complete subject and circle the complete predicate: 1. a heated debate about environmental issues started in science class today. 2. many of the city’s residents have been disappointed with the new transportation system. 3. one of the students in gym class fainted from heat stroke this afternoon. 4. where did you put my bag?

Explanation:

Question 1

The subject is the part of the sentence that performs the action or is being described. In "A heated debate about environmental issues started in science class today", "A heated debate about environmental issues" is the subject as it is what started. The predicate is the part that tells what the subject does or is, so "started in science class today" is the predicate.

In the sentence "Many of the city’s residents have been disappointed with the new transportation system", the subject is "Many of the city’s residents" as it is who has been disappointed. The predicate is "have been disappointed with the new transportation system" as it describes what the residents have experienced.

For the sentence "One of the students in gym class fainted from heat stroke this afternoon", the subject is "One of the students in gym class" (the one who fainted) and the predicate is "fainted from heat stroke this afternoon" (what the student did).

Answer:

• Underlined (Subject): $\underline{\text{A heated debate about environmental issues}}$
• Circled (Predicate): $\boldsymbol{\text{started in science class today}}$
