a. complete subject

Complete phrase containing the subject that is doing the action
and any modifying adjectives or prepositional phrases
describing the noun(s)

“the sign on the building”

b. complete predicate

Complete phrase containing the verb or the action in the sentence
and any modifying adverbs, adverb clauses, or prepositional phrases
describing that verb or action

“hasn’t…finished that chapter yet”

c. simple or compound subject

Only the main subject(s)/noun(s) that are doing the action
WITHOUT the other descriptive adjectives or prepositional phrases

“scream” “silence” [this is actually compound subject joined by “and”]

d. simple or compound predicate

Only the verb and auxiliary verbs that describe the action
WITHOUT the other descriptive adverbs or phrases

[there are no examples of this]

e. noe of these

“next to the cottage” describes “stood”
“will be traveling” is a verb or simple predicate, so “be traveling” is just part of it
“how” is an adverb

So I would say “none of these” for these other questions.

I'm not going to answer your questions for you, but I will give you some advice. The subject is what is described in the sentence. The predicate tells the subject what to do. Hope that helps!
