Read the sentence. all except for jesse and his brother were finally found. which of the following is the complete predicate? a. jesse and his brother b. found c. all expect for jesse and his brother d. were finally found

The complete predicate is "were finally found" (D).

Explanation:

It is said that the predicate of a sentence is the part that modifies the subject in some way because it contains the verb that explains what the subject does and can also include a modifier. In order to identify the predicate, you should first identify the subject. You can do it by asking the following question: Who/what verb(ed)? In this case, it would be "who were finally found?" The answer to that question is "all except for Jesse and his brother". Everything that is not the subject is the predicate, that is, "were finally found".

odysseus shows many acts of bravery in homer's epic poem the odyssey. first, he shows bravery when he tricks polyphemus, the cyclops, and gouges out his eye. this is an act of bravery. it will also cost him because polyphemus was the son of poseidon, the god of the sea.

explanation:

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
