To determine whether a word is a subject, direct object, object of a preposition, or a predicate noun, we need to understand the function of each word in the sentence. Here's a breakdown of each sentence:
1. "pay close attention to WHAT I DO."
- The capitalized word "WHAT" is the object of the preposition "to."
2. "this is HOW STUDENTS SELECT THEIR MAJOR."
- The capitalized word "HOW" is the predicate noun, as it renames the subject "this."
3. "WHO SENT THE YELLOW ROSES is a mystery to me."
- The capitalized word "WHO" is the subject of the sentence.
4. "doctors can explain WHY PROPER FOOD IS SO IMPORTANT."
- The capitalized word "WHY" is the direct object, as it answers the question "explain what?"
5. "Your athletic skills will be valuable in WHICHEVER SPORT YOU CHOOSE."
- The capitalized word "WHICHEVER" is the object of the preposition "in."
Regarding the question about sentence complexity:
6. "people across America have developed an appreciation for Mexican food."
- Yes, this sentence can be considered complex as it contains a subordinate clause "across America" that provides additional information.
