The subject in a sentence is the noun or pronoun that is doing or being something. The verb expresses the action that the subject is doing or being. I can be a simple subject, a complete subject and a compund subject.
A simple subject is only a noun or pronoun. A complete subject includes all the modifiers. A compound subject includes more than one subject--for example, when there are two people performing an action.
In this sentence, the candidates are the ones who are speaking, so the <u>simple subject</u> is "<em>candidates"</em> and the <u>complete subject</u> is "<em>Many of the candidates"</em>.
The correct answer is option C. Therefore, the complete subject in the sentence "many of the candidates spoke at the forum last night", would be: many of the candidates.
Explanation
The subject of a sentence is always the person, thing, idea or place that is doing something or being. In this case, the people who are doing an action are many of the candidates.
When God was ready to send rain on the earth, Elijah appeared to Ahab and instructed him to gather the Israelites and the prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel. Elijah challenged the people to choose: follow God or follow Baal. They couldn't do both. Elijah set up a challenge to prove who is the one true God.
