+Explanation of the Diagram+.--The short line following the subject line
represents the entire predicate, and is supposed to be continued in the
three horizontal lines that follow, each of which represents one of the
parts of the _compound predicate_. These three lines are united by dotted
lines, which stand for the connecting words. The +X+ denotes that an _and_
is understood.

Study this explanation carefully, and you will understand the other
diagram.
