The following is an example.e.g. The only child is used to getting plenty of candy, lavish praise from grownups, and pretty much anything else he or she wants.The phrases in bold are complements of the preposition, to. Meanwhile, they are at same level and joined with a coordinating conjunction. In this case, we can name it 'compound complement'.

Examples of a compound predicate?
A compound predicate is a sentence with two or more predicates that share the same subject. For example, in the sentence "She sings and dances," the compound predicate is "sings and dances" because the subject "she" is doing both actions. Another example is "He runs, jumps, and swims," where "runs," "jumps," and "swims" are all part of the compound predicate.
