becomes rigid aasthough it's dead
The complete predicate in this sentence is A. mopped his brow, exhaled sharply, and picked up his phone.
B and C aren't correct, because they aren't complete predicates - something is missing.
D isn't correct, because <em>looking up from his computer monitor </em>is not a predicate, it is an adverb phrase.

This helps to justify what Shakespeare expressed in his statement that people should not make fun of love at first sight because it just may be real. The author introduces us to a character from "The Office" to show us an example of what we mock when we think of love at first sight. The character does everything possible to find the model only to discover that she is, unfortunately, dead. Even so, he visited her grave, singing a requiem to what could have been. In paragraph 21, the author describes a similar event in the love story of Romeo and Juliet. Although Romeo and Juliet did not know each other, he had fallen in love with her at first sight and expressed through a sonnet that he wanted to kiss her, and she, in the end, agrees with his feelings.

The editorial to which this question refers is "Yes, Virginia! There is a Santa Claus; timeless message"
Answer:
The central idea of the text is the ability to elaborate an answer to a child's question that is true, but does not compromise the child's innocence.
Explanation:
The editorial shows how a man was able to associate the existence of the Santa Claus, with the existence of feelings and inanimate things that exist in a subjective way in our life, but not in a concrete way. This answer was given to a child who wanted to know if Santa was real.
In this way they can confirm that the central idea of the text is the ability to answer children's questions in an appropriate way, without lies, but with delicacy.
