Explanation:

1. A:

• The simple subject is the main noun that performs the action or is being described. In "School begins each day at 8 a.m.", "School" is the simple subject as it is the doer of the action "begins". Similarly, for other sentences, identify the main noun performing the action or being described.
• For example, in "The teachers welcome all the students in their classes", "The teachers" is the simple subject.

1. B: The simple predicate is the main verb that shows the action of the subject. In "Leaves fall to the ground in cold weather", "fall" is the simple predicate. In "Rod searched for his laptop all over his house", "searched" is the simple predicate.
2. C: For "The crowd scattered at the end of the game", "The crowd" is the simple subject (underlined) and "scattered" is the simple predicate (circled). Follow the same logic for other sentences to identify the simple subject and simple predicate.
