Multiple Choice
A sentence must have:
Subject
Predicate
Both, a Subject and a Predicate
Both, Subjects and Predicates

Each sentence is:
made of a SUBJECT (N or NP) & a PREDICATE (V or VP) ( the two basic components of a sentence)
made longer by adding modifiers (REFER to Lesson 4: Modifiers), and
each modifier is actually a meaningful unit or a semantic block which is added to the main sentence to modify or change its meaning by adding more information to the sentence, and thus manages to make it more interesting.
