On the next cloudless night, go outdoors and look at the sky.

Underlined is: go _____ look



A- simple predicate

B- complete predicate

C- compound predicate

D- none of the above

I think it is D. It should be a compound verb.

The first one is right.

Yes, the second one is a compound verb, but -- these questions are all about subjects and predicates -- so go and look is the compound predicate.

Umm, okay. I just think it is D- none of the above, because I have the same question on a previous test, and the answer was compound verb and I got it correct, so I just figured the answer was none of the above.
