1. ___ verb phrase
2. ___ simple subject
3. ___ direct object(s)

Explanation:

1. The past - tense of regular verbs like "paint" is formed by adding -ed, the present participle is formed by adding -ing, and the past participle of regular verbs is the same as the past - tense form. For prefixes: "neo -" means new, "bio -" means life, "mono -" means one. In sentence analysis, the verb phrase is the part of the sentence containing the verb and its auxiliaries, the simple subject is the main noun or pronoun doing the action, and the direct object is what the action is being done to.
2. "neo -" means new, example: "neonatal".
3. "bio -" means life, example: "biology".
4. "mono -" means one, example: "monopoly".
5. "have been collecting" is the verb phrase (C).
6. "people" is the simple subject (B).
7. "the Elvis stamp, the Bugs Bunny stamp, and the World of Dinosaurs stamps" is the direct object(s) (D).
