It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Sentence or Fragment?" which is designed to help students identify whether a group of words is a complete sentence or a sentence fragment.
Since I can't view images directly, I'll explain how to solve this type of problem and provide guidance based on the typical format of such worksheets.

🔍 Understanding the Task
A
sentence must have:
- A
subject (who or what the sentence is about)
- A
predicate (what the subject is doing — usually a verb)
- It expresses a
complete thought
A
fragment is
incomplete — it might be missing a subject, a verb, or a complete thought.

✔ How to Solve Each Item
For each item on the worksheet, ask yourself:
1.
Does it have a subject?
2.
Does it have a verb?
3.
Does it express a complete thought?
If
all three are present → it's a
sentence
If
any one is missing → it's a
fragment

📝 Final Tips
- Look for
subjects (nouns or pronouns) and
verbs (action or linking verbs).
- Watch out for
dependent clauses starting with "because," "although," "when," etc. — they often need a main clause.
- Phrases that end with a period but don’t make sense alone are fragments.
