Answer:

Because he is poor and hungry.

Explanation:

In Act V Scene I, of "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, the apothecary risks the death penalty to sell Romeo poison because he is very poor and hungry. After seeing Juliet lying dead in her tomb, Romeo goes to the apothecary to buy a poison that would allow him to lie beside her. He offers him forty ducats. The apothecary argues that he is risking the death penalty but as he is so hungry and so poor he sells the poison to Romeo. "My poverty, but not my will, consents."

Explanation:

I have underlined the simple subjects and bolded the simple predicates within the given sentences.

A simple subject is the most important word within the complete subject. It's a noun or a pronoun. For example, the complete subject in the 2nd sentence is Many runners, but the most important word within it is runners, which makes it the simple subject.

A simple predicate is the main part, a verb, of the complete predicate. A complete predicate includes all the descriptors besides the verb (e.g. The race begins in a suburb of Boston), but the simple predicate is just the verb (begins).
