What are the subjects in these clauses!

Question

In the middle of Germany is the Harz mountain range.The tallest mountain in the range is called the Brocken.The trees that cover the sides of the Brocken are thick and tall,and many lean against each other. On windy nights, the trees creak and groan. Because of the eerie sounds, the mountain is thought to be haunted by a witch. This witch controls the animals and terrifies the local people. One night each year, her spirit is said to rise. Locals and tourists gather around bonfires and drink the so-called witch's wine. With or with-out the witch, the Brocken is a pretty spooky place.

Answer 2

I agree with all answers given by Matt H except the first one. The subject is the Harz mountain range.

 

As an aside, the question should be "What are the subjects in these sentences"

 

The subjects of the clauses are completely different.

 

For example:

 The subject in the clause "in the range" is range.

The subject in the clause "on windy nights" is nights.

The subject in the clause "Because of the eerie sounds" is sounds.
