In a sentence or clause, the predicate refers to the part which expresses what is said of the subject. It usually consists of a verb with or without objects, complements, or adverbial modifiers.
There are the following types of the predicate: (1) The Simple Predicate, consisted in a verb in some tense, voice, person, number and mood, (2) The Compound Verbal Modal Predicate, which consists of a modal verb plus the Infinitive, (3) The Compound Verbal Aspect Predicate, which consists of a verb denoting the beginning, the continuation or the end of the action plus the Infinitive or the Gerund and (4) The Compound Nominal Predicate, that consists of a link-verb and a predicative (the nominal part) which can be expressed with different parts of speech.
In The particular sentence<em> “After Mary graduated, she was offered a promotion at her job”</em> the predicate would be the underlined: After Mary graduated, she <u>was offered a promotion at her job</u>”.
This particular sentence could be considered as an example of the last type of predicate described above, The Compound Verbal Aspect Predicate, since it consists of a link-verb and a nominal part expressed with different parts of speech.

Answer:
c The longhorns had been skittish, but Johnny Chillers—who was named for the old Chillers trail—sang to them whenever they started to spook to calm them down.
Explanation:
The best revision that corrects Sam's error in the use of dashes to set off a clause is option C because it correctly separates the group of words which indicates a pause to emphasize that what Johnny Chillers was named after.
An em dash is used to show a pause and are also used to separate groups of words and their usage can be interchanged with commas or hyphens.
