    1 / -0
    Identify the subject of the following sentence:
    We need a visionary to reconcile the contradictory pulls of the two.
    Solution
    The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. We can find the subject of a sentence if we can find the verb. In the given sentence the verb is 'need'. The people who 'need' is the subject of this sentence. Therefore option B, 'we', is the correct answer. 
    Options A, C and D are incorrect answers because they are not the subject of this sentence, rather, they are the object, the independent clause and the adverb. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Option D: In the given sentence, 'Science' performs the action "cannot convincingly explain". It performs an action in the action, hence option D is correct.
    Options A and B: 'The circumstances' is a part of the object "the circumstances of a man's birth and death". An object is a noun or noun phrase towards which an action is performed (in an active voice-sentence).
    These options do not contain the subject, hence A and B are incorrect.
