Answer 1

b. ship

Its complete form is...

   Lord Nelson's great ship, Victory

Answer 2

The answer is B:ship, because the sentence is about the ship.

Answer 3

The answer is B.

The SUBJECT is "who or what the sentence is about."  In this case, the subject would be "Lord Nelson's great ship, Victory."

The SIMPLE SUBJECT is the MAIN word in the subject.  It is the word, that if removed, would make the sentence wrong.  To find the SIMPLE SUBJECT, you remove the modifiers in the SUBJECT, in this case "Lord Nelson's great" and "Victory."

If you removed any of those modifiers, the sentence would still work.  If you removed "ship" the sentence would not work.
