Answer: Simple Subject

Answer 2

1. simple subject - consists of one word only; in the sentence above, the subject is the word Melinda

2. complete subject - contains all words connected to the simple subject; if the underlined part of the sentence was Melinda, a college student from Maine, then it would be a complete, rather than a simple subject
