Answer 2

ANSWER:

The simple predicate in the given sentence is option '(b) continue'.

EXPLANATION:

   A simple predicate is a verb or a verb phrase. In order to find out the simple predicate, we need to ask the question 'what is the subject doing?' we need to focus only on the verb or a verb phrase.  

   Such a question is asked here, 'What do the people do?' The answer to the question is 'They continue the age old custom of honouring the national heroes.' Here, we get the word 'continue' as our simple predicate.
