Used for many sports and activities, indoor ice rinks require special care. which word or group of words is the simple subject? rinks sports and activities indoor ice rinks sports

The correct answer is A. Rinks

Explanation:

In sentences, the subject is the word or words that indicate the agent performing the action of the sentence. In the case of the simple subject, this includes only the main word of the subject without any modifier such as adjectives that describe the subject. In the case of the sentence "Used for many sports and activities, indoor ice rinks require special care" the complete subject or agent is "indoor ice rinks"; however in this "indoor" and "ice" act as modifier of the noun "rinks" and therefore, the simple subject, in this case, is "rinks" as this is the main word in the subject.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
