Answer 2

Answer:

1. The complete subject: Flowers and candy

2. The complete predicate: are traditional gifts for Valentine’s Day.

Explanation:

1. A subject is a noun or pronoun that performs the main action of a sentence or the one that is being described or dealt with. In the given sentence, "Flowers and candy" is the subject because those are the main nouns being described. More specifically, it is a compound subject because it consists of two nouns.

2. A predicate is the part of the sentence that contains a verb and sometimes other objects, words, and modifiers that state something about the subject. In the sentence "are traditional gifts for Valentine’s Day" is the predicate because it contains a verb: "are" and other words that describe the subject.
