Explanation:

For Sentence 1: "The girl with the blue ribbon was running for class president."

• Complete Subject: The complete subject tells what the sentence is about. Here, "The girl with the blue ribbon" includes the noun "girl" and the phrase that modifies it, so it's the complete subject.
• Complete Predicate: The complete predicate tells what the subject does or is. "was running for class president" includes the verb and the rest of the phrase that describes the subject's action, so it's the complete predicate.

• Complete Subject: "The poster with the sparkles" contains the noun "poster" and its modifier, so it's the complete subject.
• Complete Predicate: "was Reina’s" includes the verb (linking verb "was") and the rest that describes the subject, so it's the complete predicate.

• Complete Subject: "The past class presidents" has the noun "presidents" and its modifiers, so it's the complete subject.
• Complete Predicate: "always worked to improve the school" includes the verb and the phrase describing the action, so it's the complete predicate.
