Read the following sentence:

At the top of the hill was a beautiful meadow filled with flowers.
What is the simple subject of the sentence above?
A. Meadow
B. Flowers
C. Hill
D. Top

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter B.

The word "flowers" refer to the simple subject within the sentence. Simple subjects are the main context of a sentence. It gives the whole idea of a sentence when it is related to other words. The three other choices are not the simple subjects in the sentence but rather are adjectives and indirect objects.
