English Grammar and Usage

The predicate is everything in the sentence that is not the subject - it includes the verb and all words that modify or complete it. 'The dew drops' is the subject, while 'glittered in the moonlight' tells what the subject did (the complete predicate).

A phrase is a group of words that function as a unit but lacks both a subject and a verb. 'of the buildings' is a prepositional phrase (starts with preposition 'of') that modifies 'tops'. It's not a subject (does the action), predicate (contains the verb), or clause (has subject+verb).

'a chain of gold' is a noun phrase - a group of words centered around a noun ('chain') that functions together as a unit. It functions as the direct object but structurally it's a phrase because it lacks a subject-verb pair. A clause would need both a subject and a verb (like 'which is made of gold').

'which is made of Teak' is a dependent clause because it has both a subject ('which') and a verb ('is'). It functions as an adjective describing 'stick' but structurally it's a clause, not a phrase. A phrase would lack either a subject or a verb.

'of great beauty' is a prepositional phrase - it begins with a preposition ('of') and lacks both a subject and a verb. It functions as an adjective describing 'painting' but structurally remains a phrase. A clause would need a subject-verb combination.

'In the west' is a prepositional phrase (starts with preposition 'in', ends with noun 'west'). A clause requires a subject and verb, while a phrase is a group of words without both. This phrase functions as an adverb modifying 'sets'.

'Stand up' is an imperative sentence. Imperatives are complete sentences where the subject 'you' is understood but not stated. Option D correctly combines that it is a proper sentence AND that the subject is understood.

The past tense of 'swim' is 'swam'. This is an irregular verb where the vowel changes from 'i' to 'a'. 'Swum' is the past participle form (used with 'have/has'), not the simple past tense.

'Drive' is an irregular verb. Its simple past tense form is 'drove'. 'Driven' is the past participle form (used with helping verbs like 'have/has/had driven'). 'Drew' is the past tense of 'draw', not 'drive'.

Both 'spoilt' and 'spoiled' are acceptable past tense forms of 'spoil'. 'Spoilt' is more commonly used in British English, while 'spoiled' is preferred in American English. Option A is correct.

This is correct voice as this is simple future and we use be+ third form in this type of tense.

 This is correct voice.

This is correct voice. For who, 'by whom' is used in passive voice.

In a question, helping verb comes after the tag (what) and before the subject (you). 

‘Went’ is the right verb here.
