Satire is a very potent tool by which Elizabeth, the protagonist gets back at the patriarchal norms in Pride and Prejudice.
Explanation:
Mr Collins is s distant cousin of Mr Bennet. HE is a clergyman and holds enormous property in the Rosing's park, the estate he own because of his patroness Lady Catherine De Bourgh.
He is essentially a buffoon at worst and a lascivious man at best as he tries to use his money to persuade one of the girls of Mr Bennet to marry him as well as not give them his estate.

A complete predicate must start with a verb. 'The first day of the semester' is a complete subject. It is WHAT the sentence would be about. "With the new books and schedules in hand" is a prepositional phrase, which simply adds information to a sentence. "Because of the slamming of the lockers and the shouts of the students" is an introductory clause. "Could not be heard above the voices in the hallway" is the only complete predicate.
