Answer 2

The sentence above is a simple sentence (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple sentence is a sentence consisting of only one clause, with a single subject and predicate. In the sentence above, the subject of the sentence is the NP "Fred" and the predicate is the VP "came running". As you can see, the sentence is made up of only one clause with a single subject and a single predicate.
