Remember: the complete subject is the "who" or "what" the sentence is about and includes all of the words that describe it. The subject cannot be part of a prepositional phrase.
Here is the sentence:
The majority of walkers hike for one day.

Excuse me wo_manifest. I am only human. I make plenty of typos. It is not a riddle it is actually a question on a college test that I got WRONG and know that I was correct. I was hoping not to run into any people who feel smarter than us who from time to time need a little reassurance. I can see that I was wishful thinking! You should ask a therapist about feeling the need to make someone look inferior to yourself. Have a wonderful day!!

Oh yes.. I forgot to tell you first few that said " The majority of walkers". At first I thought the smae thing but then, OF is a preposition, So I answered The majority.. and still got it wrong. I KNOW I AM RIGHT!!

First, grammar is spelled with two "a"s, no "e"s. Good luck. The only part of the sentence that isn't part of a prepositional phrase is "The majority...hike." Best wishes figuring out this riddle.

Well, it must be 'walkers' because 'majorities' can't actually hike.
