Since Sentence #3 is a compound sentence, it will inevitably have two subjects and their respective predicates. They are known as Compound Subjects and Compound Predicates.
Here is your answer:
The underlined section in each sentence is subject; and the rest of the section that is not underlined in each sentence is predicate.
Out of all climbers on the expedition,only four would get a chance to make an attempt to reach the summit.
Hunt,the team leader,selected two teams of climbers.
The first team included Tom, Bourdillion and Charles Evans, while Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made up the second team."
Explanation
Subject in grammar is a part of sentence that is either a noun or a noun phrase, or a pronoun representing a person or a thing. The subject always performs the action.
Predicate in grammar is a part of sentence containing a verb; it is the action performed by the subject.
