To determine which sentence has a compound predicate with a direct object, we first need to understand the concepts involved:
- A predicate is the part of a sentence that contains the verb and describes the action or state of the subject.
- A compound predicate is when a subject has two or more verbs connected by a coordinating conjunction (like "and" or "or") that describe separate actions or states.
- A direct object is a noun, pronoun, or phrase that receives the action of the verb directly.
Now, let's analyze each sentence:
a) "Anne bakes cakes and cookies."
This sentence has a compound predicate, as the verb "bakes" is connected by the coordinating conjunction "and" to the verb "cookies." However, there is no direct object in this sentence.
b) "Anne loves to bake cakes."
This sentence does not have a compound predicate because there is only one verb, "loves." Also, there is no direct object in this sentence.
c) "Anne took baking classes."
This sentence does not have a compound predicate as there is only one verb, "took." Additionally, there is no direct object.
d) "Anne baked a cake and ate it."
This sentence has a compound predicate. The verb "baked" and the verb "ate" are connected by the coordinating conjunction "and." Furthermore, the noun "cake" is a direct object in this sentence.
Therefore, the sentence that has a compound predicate with a direct object is option d) "Anne baked a cake and ate it."
