Nouns: "respondent" and "judge"; verbs: "objected" and "could not enter." Answer A is the correct choice because the sentence is a compound sentence comprised of two sentences. Thus, it must have at least two nouns serving as the subject and at least two verbs indicating the action or state of being. Here, the noun and the verb of the first sentence are "respondent" and "objected," and the noun and the verb of the second sentence are "judge" and "could not enter."
