Question

Separate the Subject and the Predicate in the following sentence:
A sick room should be well aired.

• A. Subject: A sick room; Predicate: should be well aired
  
• B. Subject: A sick room should be; Predicate: well aired
  
• C. Subject: well aired; Predicate: A sick room should be
  
• D. Subject: should be well aired; Predicate: A sick room
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A Subject: A sick room; Predicate: should be well aired

The subject is who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate tells something about the subject. Here the sentence is about a sick room, and the sentence says that it should be well aired. Therefore, Option A is correct.

Option 'B' has verbs 'should' and 'be' along with the subject, hence this cannot be taken only as the subject of the sentence.

Option 'C' and 'D' do not adhere to the rule of the subject and predicate according to grammar.
