Yes, c is correct.
To identify the word that is part of a compound predicate, you would need to understand the concept of a compound predicate first. In a sentence, a compound predicate consists of two or more verbs that are connected to the same subject and are expressing more than one action or state of being.
In the given sentence, "The Boys, as they were called, amused and delighted audiences everywhere", the subject is "The Boys" and there are two verbs or actions being expressed, which are "amused" and "delighted". The words "amused" and "delighted" together form the compound predicate in this sentence.
So, the correct answer is b. called.
