The correct answer is - The piercing squeal of tires on asphalt startled Katrina from a deep sleep.


This sentence is quite descriptive because it uses strong words such as <em>piercing, squeal, </em>and <em>deep. </em>We can almost clearly imagine what this entire scene looked (and sounded) like thanks to the use of descriptive language. The imagery is strong in this sentence, whereas it doesn't really appear in the other options.

What are the simple subjects and predicates in the sentence Men and melons are hard to know.
Usimov [2.4K]

A simple subject is the thing doing the verb, but excluding any extra details about the subject.

In this case, the subjects would be “men and melons”.

A simple predicate is just the verb, instead of the entire verb phrase.

In this case, the verb would be “are”.
