Select the complete subject of the sentence below.<br><br> Rob sent a letter to Mary.
aev [14]

Answer:

ROB

Explanation:

Rob is the complete subject since he is the main "character" in the sentence. Mary is secondary. 'Rob' sent a letter to (blank). Without Rob, we wouldn't be reading about sending a letter. Hope that makes sense!
