Since I see this is a bit of a homework question type, I will not only answer it, but make sure you understand what's what. Bear with me, okay?
"The average cow spends eighteen hours a day chewing."
"average" is an adjective for "cow", which is your subject. There's your answer. Now, please keep reading quickly.
"spends" is the verb, which tells that the cow spends...What? "hours" How many? "eighteen", which is an adjective for "hours". How? Because "hours" is a direct object, or a noun that the verb talks about.
I apologize for sounding so silly explaining the basics. It wanted to make it more of a learning reply.
if you reframe the sentence, you will get the complete subject: "trouble develops on the safari." the complete subject is "trouble."

Ah, what a lovely sentence you have there! The subject is "purchases," which is the thing we are talking about in the sentence. It's like a little friend that helps us understand what the sentence is about. Keep up the good work exploring language, my friend!
In the context of grammar, a subject is typically the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the sentence, while the predicate is the part of the sentence that provides information about the subject. In this case, "Angela's pet hamster" would be considered the subject of the sentence, as it is the noun being described. If we were to break down the sentence further, the predicate would be the part that describes what the hamster is doing or what is being done to it.
"Man" is the subject, "is" is the verb.
You can make a sentence with any number of words. Typically, a sentence has subject and predicate; ie subject & verb & object. "Cats kill birds" (Three word sentence) But some verbs are intransitive (i.e take no object): "Philosophers think". (Two word sentence) Some questions may be orders, with or without implied words; "Attention!" = "You, stand to attention!". "Go!" = "You, go!". (Two word sentence) Some questions may be questions, with or without implied words: "Why?" referring to words from a previously uttered sentence. *None of those sentences have eighteen words, but that total number is actually not a very high one.
The subject of the sentence is "you"
A subject in a sentence is who, what, or where the sentence is about.
The subject is who or what the sentence is about.
You is the subject of that sentence.
Yes. In "You baked a cake", "you" is the subject.
A subject is what the sentence is about.To make a sentence with a subject think like if it was a theme.
The subject tells who or what the sentence is about.
What is the subject of this sentence? She was the subject of an investigation.
"They" is the subject of that sentence.
To locate the subject of a sentence, identify who or what the sentence is about. The subject is usually a noun or pronoun that performs the action of the sentence. Look for the main verb in the sentence and ask "Who or what is doing the action?" to determine the subject.
