Answer 2

A simple predicate refers to the word(s) that tell you what is being done in the sentence, i.e. verb being done. For the examples given, the first step would be identifying the verb or "action word" and then looking for the linking word (and) between actions done in the sentence. Rather than give the exact answers for the questions above, here is an example of how to correctly complete the task: The boys swim and play in the water. Swim and play are your verbs linked by the word "and," being done by the same subject, the boys.
