Answer 1

"Predicate" is simply another term for "verb." Study about verbs and verb phrases here:

The simple predicate is the main verb, which can include auxiliary (helping) verbs, such as can, has, was, and others.

The complete predicate is the main verb and everything that goes with it -- generally, everything in the sentence from the verb to the end.

1. A king <b><u>had</b> a strange dream</u>.
The simple predicate is in bold.
The complete predicate is underlined.

2. An odd lady <b><u>appeared</b></u>.
In this sentence the simple and complete predicate are the same thing -- the main verb.

You try the rest, and I'll check your work for you.
