6. C complete subject
7. B. simple predicate
8. A. simple subject
9. B. simple predicate
A simple subject refers to the noun which is a person, place, thing, or idea. It is a complete subject if the noun has any modifiers that describe the subject. A simple predicate on the other hand refers to the main verb in the predicate.
Answer:
Sure.
The ship stops on the way to New Orleans, picking up four more slaves. Among them is a slave named Arthur. Like Solomon and Robert, Arthur is a free man with a family and was kidnapped and sold into slavery. When the ship departs again for New Orleans, the captain appoints Robert as his waiter and Solomon as the overseer of the cooking department. Solomon is also made to distribute food and water twice a day. At night, the slaves are “driven into the hold and securely fastened down.”
Arthur’s story of being kidnapped echoes that of Robert and Solomon, pushing the reader to recognize the widespread distortion of justice that permeates the nation. The slaves are once again compared to livestock, as they are “driven into the hold and securely fastened down” like horses or cattle being kept in the barn for the night.

A violent storm descends upon the ship, and many of the slaves wish that the “compassionate sea” would drown them, saving them from “the clutches of remorseless men.” Solomon tells his reader not to judge him for any of his actions that follow in the narrative, writing: “Let not those who have never been placed in like circumstances, judge me harshly.”
Setting and tone/mood can be seen to go hand in hand, so to
speak. For instance, a scene of a story
or poem that takes place in a field of flower on a bright and sunny day would
contribute to a tone of happiness. That
said, the time _1984_ occurs is in the future for the characters of the
novel. The place is London, and the
weather and color are, respectively, dreary and gray. Because
the future can never be known for sure, this uncertainty contributes to the
dystopian tone. Likewise, when one
thinks about the miserable nature for people that would be caused by a dystopian
society, bright and sunny are not what one might generally think. Setting
in _1984_ contributes to the tone of dystopia because when one pictures what a
dystopia might look like, smoggy, foggy, and gray are probably what come to
mind.
