What does a sentence not need absolutely?

A. subject
B. verb
C. a complete thought
D. an adjective
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

In the following sentence, you could take out the adjective “brown” and it would still be a sentence. But, if you take out the subject “dog” or the predicate “barked loudly,” the sentence is no longer complete.

The brown dog barked loudly.  The dog barked loudly.    [adjective removed - sentence still complete]
The brown dog barked loudly. The brown barked loudly.  [subject removed]
The brown dog barked loudly. The brown dog. [predicate removed]
