Answer: The sentence is built around the simple subject "dad" and the simple predicate "gave." It also contains both a direct object "lunches" and indirect object "us"
Explanation: The first option is nonsense: school is not a subject, "left" is a simple predicate but not of the main clause, and the sentence does contain a direct object (lunches). The second option is wrong too, because the word "morning" is acting as an adjective to the word "frenzy," not as a subject, and the indirect object is actually "us." The subject is not "frenzy" either as the third option suggest. Only the last option is correct.
