Asked by Hunter
The face of the statue looked just like Connie's face. Would the Simple Subject be statue and the Simple predicate be looked? or would the Simple subject be face of the statue?

The simple predicate (verb) is right -- but the simple subject is not right.
The word "statue" is in a prepositional phrase -- "of the statue" -- it can not be a subject. The simple subject, therefore, must be "face."
