How would I separate the subject from the predicate from each other in this sentence Canning or freezing keeps food from spoiling

Canning or freezing keeps food from spoiling.

Explanation:

I've underlined the subject and written the predicate in bold letters.

The subject is the part of the sentence that tells us who or what is performing an action expressed by the verb. It can also tell us who or what is being described by the predicate.

The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.

Here, the subject are the words canning and freezing. This is a compound subject - a subject that consists of two or more simple subjects that share a verb or verb phrase. The verb these words share is keeps. This verb is a part of the complete predicate: keeps food from spoiling.

To confirm this, we can ask:

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.
