PLEASE HELP ME ASAP with diagramming this sentence: "Abstain from all appearance of evil". What is the subject in the sentence? Is the subject "you" which is an understood you. Secondly, is it a declarative or imperative statement?

The sentence “Abstain from all appearance of evil” is an imperative statement. These types of sentences usually do not have a subject and their structures consist mainly on the bare verb alone. The main purpose of an imperative statement is to give commands. So, in this sentence, there is no subject and it is commanding somebody to abstain from doing something.
