Answer 8

I don't think that it would be a simple or complete predicate, but I am not sure if it would be a simple subject or a complete subject.
A simple subject is a person, place, or thing about which the sentence is written.
A complete subject includes the simple subject and any words related to it.

Answer 9

Simple subjects and Simple predicates only count as 1 word...so those are out since their is a whole phrase that is italicised in that sentence.

Answer 10

Would it be a complete subject?

Answer 11

I think that it would because it contains a simple subject and words about the simple subject

Hmmmm, go for it. But if it's wrong, you know what your correct answer would be. :)
