Which fragment is made up of a complete predicate?

a) could not be heard above the voices in the hallway
b) because of the slamming of the lockers and the shouts of the students
c) with the new books and schedules in hand
d) the first day of the semester

A). Could not be heard above the voices in the hallway.

Explanation:

A predicate is exemplified as the part of the sentence that states or asserts a description of the subject and consists of a verb and a description of the subject.

In the given question, the fragment that consists of a complete predicate is 'could not be heard above the voices in the hallway' as it includes a verb phrase 'could not be heard' along with the description 'above the voices' that asserts a complete description of the subject. Thus, option A is the correct answer as the other options fail to possess the characteristics of a complete predicate as mentioned above. Option B provides a reason while option C and D do not contain a verb.
