Answer:
4. Should be studying
Explanation:
The predicate is the part of a sentence (or clause) that contains a verb, stating what the subject is doing, or describes the subject.
When we have a main verb and an auxiliary verb accompanying it, both of them together form the predicate. In the given sentence, we have a construction with a main verb<em> to study </em>and an auxiliary verb <em>should:</em> <em>should be studying</em>. If you chose just<em> studying</em> or <em>should be</em> as the predicate, that would be incorrect as those two options are not the complete predicate.
Answer:
to better understand and appreciate their heritage
Explanation:
In the last line of the excerpt he wants these artists to "cause the smug Negro middle class to turn from their white, respectable, ordinary books and papers to catch a glimmer of their won beauty." In this line "their own beauty" is the heritage of African Americans. The "near intellectuals" aren't musicians and writers. They are African Americans who are paying attention more to white culture than their own history.
