Read the excerpt from "Perseus and the Quest for Medusa's Head." One day, the king called all the noble young men of his country

together and told them that he was soon to marry a queen from beyond the sea. He asked each of them to bring him a present to be given to the bride’s father, for in those times it was the custom that when any man was to be married, he must offer costly gifts to the father of the bride. “What kind of presents do you want?” said the young men. “Horses,” answered the king, for he knew that Perseus himself had no horses to give. Perseus was vexed by the king’s request, which he knew was meant to shame him. Impulsively he cried out, “Horses—is that all you ask? Why don’t you ask for something worth having? Why don’t you ask for Medusa’s head?” Upon hearing this, the king smiled triumphantly. “Then Medusa’s head it shall be!” he said. "These young men may give me horses, but you, Perseus, must bring me the head of Medusa." Which detail from the text best supports the inference that Perseus is being reckless by trying to impress the king? "Upon hearing this, the king smiled triumphantly. 'Then Medusa’s head it shall be!' he said." "'Why don’t you ask for something worth having? Why don’t you ask for Medusa’s head?'” "Perseus was vexed by the king’s request, which he knew was meant to shame him." “'Horses,' answered the king, for he knew that Perseus himself had no horses to give."

Answer:

Explanation:At that point, Danae was childless, and to keep the prophecy from coming true, Acrisius locked her in a tower. However, Zeus had seen Danae and had grown fond of her; so, during the night, he appeared to her in the form of golden rain and impregnated her. She gave birth to a baby, which she named Perseus.

“In separate columns on a sheet of paper write a complete subject and the completepredicate of these words”
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

In the first sentence the subject is "urban sprawl" and the rest of the sentence is the predicate. In the second sentence, the subject is "Growing families" and the rest of the sentence is the predicate.

The subject of a sentence is the term that suffers or provokes the action of the verb of the sentence, while the predicate is all the terms that deny or affirm something about the subject.

In this case, it is important that you know which term is the verb of each sentence, as this term is essential for the subject to be found.

The verb is the term that indicates an action, or a state of the individual. In the two sentences presented above, the verbs are "to harm" and "to want."

Knowing which term is the verb of the sentence, you can find the subject and predicate as follows:

  • To find the subject, ask who is causing or suffering the action of seeing.
  1. In the first sentence: Who is harming the habitat? Who is harming the habitat is urban expansion. In this case, urban expansion is the subject of the sentence.
  2. In the second sentence: Who wants bigger houses and yards? Growing families. Hence, growing families are the subject of the sentence.
  • To find the predicate, identify what is being said about the subject of each sentence.
  1. In the first sentence: What is urban expansion doing? It's harming the habitat.
  2. In the second sentence: what do growing families want? They want bigger houses and yards.
