***I think the answer is A. the sentence has a compound subject (mr.wallace and ms. frye) am i right??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hii!! thanks for coming :)

hero (hero):

Well, this one is tricky. You have to look for the verb first. Anything after the verb is predicate

hero (hero):

Everything before the verb is "subject". Ask yourself what the subject is in this case.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh.... is the subject you??

hero (hero):

Bingo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and is the verb make??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused now :(

hero (hero):

Before you confuse yourself anymore, you might want to consult this: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/index2.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay cool! i mean i'm confused as to what the answer is lol.. but am i correct about the verb?? is it make??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it makes sense... it will then say did u make copies of the guest list?? what do i do now?? what does that mean? :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk an object??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo is the direct object copies??

hero (hero):

I believe the key word for the answer choices is "compound"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it list?? and @hero what do u mean by compound??

hero (hero):

The only way something is compound is if it includes two things with "and" between them

hero (hero):

If you look at the answer choices, every option has the word "compound" in it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh so is the answer D. the sentence has a compound INDIRECT object ??? cuz mr.wallace and ms.frye are the indirect objects?? am i right? :D

hero (hero):

So in essence, we have to identify the right compound

hero (hero):

Yes, correct. I don't know why nincompoop mentioned anything about direct objects

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks everyone!! :D and @hero did u get my message?
