I don't see a correct answer there for #6. The direct object in that sentence is "career."
#7 is incorrect.
#7 is incorrect.

These are tricky, aren't they?
The word "as" has many meanings and uses. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/as?s=t
In #6, the word "as" is being used as a preposition.
What did you decide about #7?

so then is 7 complete subject? And I agree with your comment on 6 but those are our choices - and I don't know what to choose.

I know I want to make the right choice - its just hard to - I'm thinking maybe #7 is simple predicate??

Yes, #7 is the complete subject.
I'd point out #6 to your teacher as an error. I'll take that sentence apart for you, too ~
She - pronoun, subject
had - main verb
a - article
lengthy - adjective, modifying "career"
career - noun, direct object
as - preposition
a - article
WRITER and a FILMMAKER. - compound object of the preposition "as" (with the conjunction and another article in there, too).

Think of the word "predicate" as meaning the same thing as "verb."
In #7, the simple predicate is "made" but the complete predicate (the verb and everything that goes with it) is "made it through the grueling admissions process."
