In the sentence 'Pink is my favorite color', what is the subject?

  1. Pink

  2. Favorite

  3. Color

  4. Is

The correct answer is: Pink

In the sentence "Pink is my favorite color," the subject is "Pink." The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. In this case, "Pink" is what is being referred to as the favorite color of the speaker. The verb "is" connects the subject to the predicate, explaining the state of being—that "Pink" is identified as the favorite color. "Favorite" and "color" are part of the predicate and work together to provide more information about the subject but do not serve as the subject themselves. Thus, identifying "Pink" as the subject clearly shows what the sentence is fundamentally about.
