    Explanation
    The given answer is correct because the phrase "Putting things back in the proper drawers" is not a complete sentence. It lacks a subject and a verb, making it a sentence fragment.

    Anthony’s favorite funny television show.

      Yes it is a sentence.

    • B. 

      No it is not a sentence.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The given answer is correct because the phrase "Anthony's favorite funny television show" is not a complete sentence. It lacks a subject and a verb, making it a sentence fragment. A complete sentence should have a subject that performs the action and a verb that expresses that action. In this case, the phrase only provides a noun phrase without a verb, so it cannot stand alone as a sentence.
