The answer is C, Compound Subject

To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the terms "simple subject," "complete subject," and "compound subject."

- The simple subject is the main noun or pronoun in the subject of a sentence. It represents the person, thing, or idea that the sentence is about.
- The complete subject includes the simple subject and any modifiers or words that describe or clarify it.
- The compound subject consists of two or more simple subjects joined by a coordinating conjunction like "and" or "or."

Now let's analyze the sentences:

1. "There goes that antique fire truck from the car show."

The underlined words are "that antique fire truck." These words represent a complete subject as they include the modifier "that antique" describing the "fire truck." Therefore, the correct choice would be B- complete subject.

2. "The Eddie Johnson Bridge has been closed."

The underlined words are "The Eddie Johnson Bridge." In this case, we don't have a compound subject because there is only one noun being described. Therefore, the correct choice would be A- simple subject.

So, your answers are correct!
