The correct answer is B. Boiled, ate

Explanation:

In grammar, a sentence that contains a compound predicate is one that has two or more verbs which are usually linked by commas or conjunctions such as "and". This means in the sentence presented it is necessary to add two verbs to create a compound predicate. Moreover, these verbs need to be related to the object included "the entire mashed potato" that is the entity affected by the action. According to this, the correct pair of verbs is "boiled, ate" (Option B) as mashed potatoes can be both boiled and ate but not ran, slept, played, or jumped as in other options, which means this is the only pair of verbs that completes correctly the sentence.

Read the poem.
Gekata [30.6K]

d.The poet compares his students to unruly hounds to illustrate the difficulties of teaching.

Throughout the poem, the class is being compared to a pack of unruly hounds. The teacher is showing that he has been trying to teach the children but it is late and they are itching to get away. This is shown when they are described as tugging on the leash and straining apart. The speaker says that he cannot drive them on another hunt towards something they are not interested in. He is basically giving up on trying to get them to learn anything new.
