Question

Which of these words or phrases is the complete predicate?

Answer 1

A complete predicate tell the reader what the subject is or is doing. So it should be B. survive in a wide range of climates. It's telling you what the cicadas are doing in detail

Answer 2

C. Survive in a wide range of climates from tropical to temperate regions.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sentence comprises of two halves, a complete subject and a complete predicate. The complete subject includes those words that tell who or what the sentence is about. And the complete predicate includes the verbs and all the words that tell what is happening in the sentence. Every word in a full sentence belongs to either one of these two halves. So, for the given sentence,

"from tropical to temperate regions, cicadas survive in a wide range of climates"

the underlined words consists of the complete predicate as they describe the subject 'Cicadas'.
