Question

Identify the subject in the following sentence:
Where could I find their work?

A) Where
B) Where could I
C) I
D) Find their works

Answer 1

Hint: A sentence is basically divided into two parts. One is the subject and the other is the Predicate. The subject includes the part of the sentence which tells us about the main character or the thing or the person on which the sentence is based.

Complete answer:
Let us analyze each option one by one.

Option A is ‘where’. According to the hint, in the sentence, the main character is not the place. Therefore, ‘where’ cannot be the subject. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B is ‘where could I’. The phrase ‘where could I’ is not a subject. The condition mentioned in the hint is not satisfied by the given phrase. Therefore, option B is also incorrect.

Option C is “I”. The word “I” is the subject in the given sentence. This is because “I” means the first person and the person is the main character of the sentence whose activities are represented in this sentence. Therefore, option C can be possibly the correct answer.

Option D is ‘find their works’. The given phrase in this option is not a subject. The condition mentioned in the hint is not satisfied by the given phrase. Therefore, option B is also incorrect.

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note: A subject of the sentence is generally found at the beginning of the sentence. But this is not a necessary condition. The subject can be in between the sentence as well, as in this case, ‘I’ is mentioned in between.
