Questions and Answers

1.

I live in Clawson, Michigan.
- A.
  
  Sentence
- B.
  
  Fragment
Correct Answer
A. Sentence

Explanation
The given statement "I live in Clawson, Michigan" is a complete thought that expresses a complete idea. It has a subject ("I") and a predicate ("live in Clawson, Michigan"). Therefore, it is a sentence rather than a fragment, which is an incomplete thought or phrase that lacks a subject or predicate.

2.

Went to bed.
- A.
  
  Sentence
- B.
  
  Fragment
Correct Answer
B. Fragment

Explanation
The given phrase "Went to bed" does not form a complete sentence as it lacks a subject. It is a fragment because it is missing the necessary components to express a complete thought. A complete sentence requires a subject (who or what is performing the action) and a verb (the action itself). In this case, there is no subject mentioned, making it a sentence fragment.

- A.
  
  Sentence

We watched the clouds go by in the sky.
- A.
  
  Sentence
- B.
  
  Fragment
Correct Answer
A. Sentence

Explanation
The given statement "We watched the clouds go by in the sky" is a complete thought that expresses a subject (we) and a verb (watched). It also includes an object (the clouds) and a prepositional phrase (in the sky) that provides additional information. Therefore, it meets the criteria of a sentence, as it can stand alone and convey a complete idea.

Looks like a pumpkin!
- A.
  
  Sentence
- B.
  
  Fragment
Correct Answer
B. Fragment

Explanation
The given statement "Looks like a pumpkin!" is a sentence fragment because it does not have a complete subject and verb. It lacks a subject that performs the action and a verb that shows the action being performed. It is an incomplete thought and does not express a complete idea on its own. Hence, it is classified as a fragment.

- B.
  
  Fragment

Explanation

9.

Miss him when he leaves.
- A.
  
  Sentence
- B.
  
  Fragment
Correct Answer
B. Fragment

Explanation
The given sentence "Miss him when he leaves" is a fragment because it lacks a subject. It is missing a subject that would complete the sentence and make it a complete thought or statement. A complete sentence would have a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing or being). In this case, the subject is missing, making it a fragment.

Rate this question:
10.

- A.

- B.
  
  Fragment
Correct Answer
A. Sentence

Explanation
The given statement "I love learning about sentences" is a complete thought that expresses a complete idea. It has a subject ("I") and a predicate ("love learning about sentences"). Therefore, it qualifies as a complete sentence rather than a fragment.
