BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which noun shows the subjective case in the sentence given. 
First, identify the subject of the main clause: 'Cats start a jump in a very deep crouch, then lift their front legs before extending their back legs.' The noun that performs the action of the verb 'start' is 'Cats,' so it is in the subjective (nominative) case.
Option 2, 'legs,' appears as the object of the verb 'lift' and 'extend' in the phrase 'lift their front legs' and 'extending their back legs.' These are objects receiving the action, not the doer, so they are not in the subjective case.
Option 3, 'jump,' is part of the noun phrase 'a jump' that serves as the object of the verb 'start' (it answers 'what do they start?'—a jump). This makes it an object noun, not the subject.
Option 4, 'crouch,' occurs inside the prepositional phrase 'in a very deep crouch' and functions as a noun within that prepositional phrase, not as the subject.
Thus, only 'Cats' carries the subject role in the sentence, while the other nouns serve as objects or parts of modifying phrases rather than the subject.

Which noun shows the subjective case in the following sentence? Cats start a jump in a very deep crouch, then lift their front legs before extending their back legs.单项选择题
