C. the mall

Answer 1

A. Leslie

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of a sentence is who or what the sentence is mainly about. It's not mainly about what she did, it is not mainly about where she did it, it is about Leslie.

Answer 2

The subject of a sentence is the main focus of the idea, or in other words who or what the sentence is about.

In this sentence, we are told that Leslie ran into her friends at the mall. Because Leslie is the primary name mentioned, she is the subject of the sentence. Because Leslie’s friends are referred to as background characters, they aren’t the focus of the sentence. The mall depicts the setting or scene of this sentence. Therefore, the subject of the sentence is (A) Leslie.
