my younger sister may be the LEAST patient person in our family.
The answer is (C). Creating an outline is a useful tip in the prewriting stage.
The best answer for this question is the first one, "not about emotions but about defending the nation." Rather than listening to anger or other "excited" feelings that we have, we must operate in wars using reason, calmness, and rationality in order to make the best decisions. Decisions that come out of excited feelings can end in more destruction. The purpose of war is to protect the rights of people, in this case the American people. Hope this helps.
The predicate is the very and everything that follows after it, which could include adverbs, prepositional phrases, and other parts of speech. For example, "The dog ran across the street to the neighbor's house". Find the verb (the action or in your case, a linking verb such as is, are, was, wear, am). In my example, the verb is 'ran'. So the predicate is:
-ran across the street to the neighbor's house
For your sentence, the predicate is -was very strong.
