Putting things back in the proper drawers.
-
Yes it is a sentence.
-
No it is not a sentence.
Correct Answer
A. No it is not a sentence.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. It is a participial phrase that functions more like a verb phrase rather than a complete sentence. To make it a sentence, it would need to include a subject and a verb, such as "I am putting things back in the proper drawers."Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. No it is not a sentence.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.
