B.) The reporter did not appear to understand the event he was describing.
Answer:
The predicate is "<u>plays chess with the chess club</u>."
The simple predicate is <u>plays</u>.
Explanation:
- <u>Predicate</u>--tells what the subject is or does.
- The <u>complete predicate</u> contains all the words that tell what the subject is or does.
- The <u>simple predicate</u> is the verb of the sentence.
So, the predicate is what the subject is or does, and plays is what the subject does, so the complete predicate would be"plays chess with the chess club."
