The subject for 这件事我来办 is indeed 这件事，not 我. According to Chinese grammar, 这件事我来办 is a 主谓谓语句 in which 主谓短语 is used as 谓语. In this case, 我来办 is the predicate(谓语).

I'd suspect that the answer for "词是最小的_____的语言单位。" is "有意義" but that is not strictly correct because morphemes carry semantics, too. OTOH my guess may be wrong so now for the spoiler...

主语、谓语、宾语、状语、补语 etc. are syntactical functions/positions. 名词、形容词、动词、副词 etc. are parts of speech.

密切关系 can be a NP, where 密切 is adj. and 关系 is a noun. ex.我们的密切关系

密切关系 can be a VP, where 密切 is vt. and 关系 is a noun. ex. 我们要密切关系，紧密联系。

Since it's implicitly asking for something other than adj., 动词 is more appropriate.
