Question

Identify the subject and predicate of the sentence.

Borrowed garments never fit well.

• A. Subject: fit well; Predicate: Borrowed garments never
  
• B. Subject: Borrowed garments; Predicate: never fit well
  
• C. Subject: never fit well; Predicate: Borrowed garments
  
• D. Subject: Borrowed; Predicate: garments never fit well
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B Subject: Borrowed garments; Predicate: never fit well

The subject of a sentence is what or whom the sentence is about whereas the predicate is a part of a sentence, that tells about what the subject is doing.

Here the borrowed garments is the topic of discussion doing the work, as indicated by the verb fit. Thus, the subject is borrowed garments, the predicate starting with an adverb never, followed by the verb. Thus, Option B is the correct answer.

The other options do not adhere to the rule of the subject and predicate according to grammar.
