Answer: Continue
Explanation:
A simple predicate includes only the main verb or verb phrase of a sentence. It does not include any modifiers. In the structure we are analyzing here, the sentence contains the main verb "continue". Thus, "continue" is the simple predicate. An example of a simple predicate containing a verb phrase would be as follows:
She has watched the new episode. --> "has watched" consists of an auxiliary verb (have) and a main verb (watch). The simple predicate is a verb phrase.
