A simple subject is the thing doing the verb, but excluding any extra details about the subject.
In this case, the subjects would be “men and melons”.
A simple predicate is just the verb, instead of the entire verb phrase.
In this case, the verb would be “are”.
B is correct, "<span> Christina and I went to the same summer camp for years (since we were 8)" </span>parentheses are used when you have some extra information you want to add, but its not completely necessary. Like how they started going to the same summer camp when they were 8, you can still read the sentence fine without it, but it's a nice piece of information.
<span>The character to the right of the cursor is deleted. </span>
<span>On Monday, July 1, Susan Martini, M.D., announced her engagement to Bob Taormina.
A comma between Monday and the date, July 1, is required. The comma after July 1 is needed because On Monday, July 1 is an introductory phrase. Traditional comma rules state that there needs to be a comma between the person's name and his or her title as well as after the title. The first comma shows that the title is not officially part of the person's name (think birth certificate). The second comma shows that the title is connected with the person's name and not a separate part of the sentence. Just a note, more recently it has been acceptable to leave these two commas out. You either have both commas or none. However, for an English assignment on comma rules, the correct answer would be to include the commas.
