Answer:
In the sentence "Mrs. Tory held Margaret's hand, but she did not speak," there are two independent clauses connected by the conjunction "but." Let's break down each clause to identify the subjects and verbs.
First clause: "Mrs. Tory held Margaret's hand"
Subject: Mrs. Tory
Verb: held
Second clause: "she did not speak"
Subject: she
Verb: did speak (with "not" being part of the negation)
So, the sentence has two subjects ("Mrs. Tory" and "she") and two verbs ("held" and "did speak").
