Even though you didn't italicize anything in this sentence, I managed to find the exercise on the Internet - the italicized part is <em>won.
</em>The correct answer is simple predicate. A simple predicate is usually just one word - a predicate, a verb without objects and adverbs around it. If the part <em>won two first-place ribbons </em>was italicized, then it would be a complete predicate. <em>Stephen </em>is simple subject in this sentence, and at the same time complete subject as well. There are no predicate adjectives in the sentence above.<em>

Answer:
After punctuating and capitalizing the passage, it becomes:
1. Mannie Dookie, a top-class runner who was born at St James in 1915, made his entrance early on the sporting scene. At twelve, the youth's running abilities were discovered. At fifteen, he was defeating much older runners. Unable to afford to buy shoes, he ran barefooted, and became known as the Barefooted Runner. Read more about him in "Heroes of the People".
Explanation:
- We must capitalize the first word of each new sentence after a period. Proper names such as people's names or names of countries must also be capitalized.
- Whenever we finish a complete thought and start a new sentence, we must use a period.
- The use of commas unfolds into different rules. For instance, when we add an appositive to a sentence, that is, a word or phrase that explains another word, we place it between commas. Commas are also used to separate items in a list, even if each item is an entire clause. Commas also separate introductory phrases from the rest of the sentence.
From PurdueOwl.com: “Circular Argument: This restates the argument rather than actually proving it. Example:
George Bush is a good communicator because he speaks effectively.
In this example, the conclusion that Bush is a "good communicator" and the evidence used to prove it "he speaks effectively" are basically the same idea. Specific evidence such as using everyday language, breaking down complex problems, or illustrating his points with humorous stories would be needed to prove either half of the sentence.”
I believe the correct answer is B. <span> “Birmingham Sunday” discusses the deaths of all four girls, while “Ballad of Birmingham” focuses on the death of one girl.
If you read the poems, the answer will be quite clear. "Birmingham Sunday" talks about how four girls died, unfortunately, whereas in the other poem, only one girl died as opposed to the first poem.</span>
