Question

Which fragment is made up of a complete predicate?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A.could not be heard above the voices in the hallway

B is a subject, C is an adverbial of reason, while D is an adverbial of manner.

Answer 2

Answer: A. could not be heard above the voices in the hallway.

Explanation: A predicate is the part of a sentence or a clause that contains the verb and that states something about the subject. The main characteristic of a predicate is that it must have a verb (a predicate could be just the verb of a sentence), so from the given fragments, the one that represents a complete predicate is the corresponding to option A, because it is the only one that contains a verb "could be heard".
