(1 point)
subject
subject
predicate
predicate
direct object
direct object
indirect object
In sentence 2, the underlined word "elected" is a verb in the predicate.
The underlined word in sentence 2 is a "predicate."
To answer the question, we need to identify the underlined word in sentence 2 of the passage. The underlined word is "president." Now, let's analyze the options:
1) Subject: The subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb. In this case, "U.S. citizens" is the subject, not "president."
2) Predicate: The predicate is the part of the sentence that includes the verb and provides information about the subject. The underlined word, "president," is not part of the predicate.
3) Direct object: The direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. Since there is no verb in sentence 2, "president" cannot be the direct object.
4) Indirect object: The indirect object is a noun or pronoun that receives the direct object. Similar to the direct object, the absence of a verb in sentence 2 means that "president" cannot be the indirect object.
Therefore, none of the given options accurately describes the underlined word in sentence 2.
