This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.

1. The correct answer is S-V-N.
S refers to subject, and if you take a look at the sentence, you will see that the subject IT comes first. It is then followed by V, which stands for verb. In this sentence, the verb is IS. The verb is followed by a noun phrase HYBRID CAR, which is a predicate nominative (a noun or phrase following a linking verb). Predicate nominatives are written as N.
2. The correct answer is S-V-A.
The layout of this sentence is similar to the first sentence. First, we have the subject (S) TRADITIONAL GAS-POWERED CARS, then we have the verb (V) ARE, which is later followed by an adjective phrase HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. This phrase is a predicate adjective (an adjective or adjectival phrase following a linking verb), which is written as A.
3. The correct answer is S-V-O.
This is the most common structure of sentences in the English language. First, we have the subject HYBRIDS, then we have the verb PRODUCE, and then we have the direct object LESS POLLUTION, and later a phrase that we don't need to name. The object of a sentence is determined by asking the question What? (What do hybrids produce? - Less pollution), and it is written as O. IO stands for indirect object, which doesn't appear here.
<span>Satire is a genre of
literature in which individuals, corporation, government or society are ridiculed
in purpose of constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to
both particular and wider issues in society in order to correct or shape
opinions and behavior. But, satire can’t be effective in shaping behavior or
opinions if the audience is always in on the joke and never being targeted. The
effectiveness of satiric work is mirrored in sole comprehension of the targeted
group of individuals that they are wrong, and should correct their opinions and
behavior. Many satiric writers believe that satires should be medicine
disguised as candy, so it would be easier for targeted group to accept it. If
only non-targeted audience comprehend the joke (main idea of satiric work), the
satire would not be effective as they agree with author’s criticism and there
is no need for them to correct their behavior nor their opinions.</span>
