it's not part of the predicate, and it comes before the preposition "after", so I'm pretty sure it's the subject
OpenStudy (brucebaner):
so what do you think @k_lynn
OpenStudy (k_lynn):
I think I'm gonna say B, Subject. Though I'm not entirely sure
OpenStudy (brucebaner):
oh okay thx tho @k_lynn
OpenStudy (k_lynn):
