The underlined word "presidents" in sentence 3 is a subject.
In order to determine the underlined word in sentence 3, we need to understand the parts of a sentence. The subject of a sentence is the person or thing that performs the action, while the predicate is the action or state of being that the subject does. The direct object is the person or thing that receives the action of the verb directly, and the indirect object is the person or thing that receives the direct object.
In this case, the underlined word is "presidents." To determine its function in the sentence, we can look at the words around it. The sentence mentions that "some presidents were elected more than once." Here, "presidents" is the subject of the sentence, as it is the noun that is performing the action of being elected. Therefore, the correct answer is that the underlined word in sentence 3 is a subject.
