OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT FINAL EXAM
A. Gave(Kevin, kiss, Julia); where "gave" is the argument, and "Kevin", "Julia" and
"kiss" form the predicates.
B. Kevin(gave, Julia, kiss); where "Kevin" is the predicate, and "gave", "Julia" and "kiss"
form the arguments.
C. Gave(Kevin, Kiss, Julia) where "gave" is the predicate, and "Kevin","Julia" and "kiss"
