Putting things back in the proper drawers.
- A.

B. 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.

Anthony’s favorite funny television show.
- A.
  
  Yes it is a sentence.
- B.
  
  No it is not a sentence.
Correct Answer
B. 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. 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.

B. No it is not a sentence.

Explanation
The given statement "Loves her friends no matter what" is not a complete sentence because it lacks a subject. A complete sentence should have a subject (the one performing the action) and a predicate (the action or state of being). In this case, the subject is missing, making it an incomplete statement rather than a sentence.
