The nature of the predicate in grammar is that it is one of the two parts of the sentence, the other being the subject, and its purpose is to provide some information about the subject, such as what it does or what the subject is like.
The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells what the subject is all about. A compound predicate consists of two main verbs along with its complements which describes the subject. In the given sentence above, the portion that contains a compound predicate is NONE. There is no compound predicate in the sentence, since the predicate is only "were a popular comedy team on radio, television, and stage." The correct answer would be option D.
