How about this, Is this correct? http://snag.gy/MYsGy.jpg

To better understand simple predicates, let's look at the following sentence: The boy walks to school. In this sentence, the boy is the subject. The focus of the sentence is on him, and he does the action of the sentence (walking). You will notice that the subject is placed near or at the beginning of the sentence. The rest of the sentence, which shares what the boy is doing, is known as the predicate. This means that walks to school is the predicate of the sentence, since it fills us in on what the boy is up to. However, the most important part of the predicate is the simple predicate. The simple predicate is the word or words that tell us what specific action the subject is taking. The simple predicate is always a verb, or in other words, it's always a word that shows action. In the above example, walks is the verb, or action word, that the boy does. That makes it the simple predicate of the sentence. The answer is "brought".

(In case you missed it in the last post) The answer is 'brought' because it is the action word that the drama performance does in order to cause tears in the audience's eyes
