Answer:

by the stock of superlatives the author means the group of people who were superlative or of high post or standard in the audience.

And the sentence means that the person exhausted or astonished the minds of his audience that even the superlatives were surprised by his lecture and was....as said the first after Desmond Tutu in 2008 to get a standing ovation or the highest standard of applause to him.

What is the purpose of the verb phrase in the sentence? You are invited to stay for dinner. It is the predicate of the sentence.
mojhsa [17]
In my opinion, the correct answer is A. <span>It is the predicate of the sentence. The verb phrase in this sentence is "are invited to stay". It is a phrase and not just a regular verb because it has its own modifier ("to stay") that describes or completes it, providing additional information. This predicate is in passive voice because the subject is actually the one that undergoes the action (instead of doing it, as subjects normally do), whereas the agent (the one who actually does the action) is unmentioned here.</span>
