Step-by-step solution for: Sentence Fragment Worksheets
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "Fragment or Sentence?". Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve the task based on the text content you provided in your message.
Here’s what the worksheet says:
---
A fragment is an incomplete thought; it may be missing a subject or a verb. A sentence is a complete thought that includes both a subject and a verb.
DIRECTIONS: Read each statement. Is it a fragment or a sentence? Write your answer on the line.
1. ___ Much louder voice, quick.
2. ___ I like to eat brownies in the coffee shop.
3. ___ I never, although you know I tried.
4. ___ Lined the perimeter with sandbags.
5. ___ Did you order any ketchup sauce?
6. ___ I don’t think he has enough to live.
7. ___ Thought I would leave a note.
8. ___ It snowed all week long.
9. ___ That program is so confusing.
10. ___ Normally, I thought that food tasted weird.
11. ___ Nearly twenty people entered. (Verbal)
---
Now let's go through each one and determine whether it's a fragment or a sentence.
---
1. Much louder voice, quick.
→ No subject or verb. Just phrases.
✔ Fragment
2. I like to eat brownies in the coffee shop.
→ Has subject ("I") and verb ("like"). Complete thought.
✔ Sentence
3. I never, although you know I tried.
→ Starts with "I" but no main verb. The clause “although you know I tried” is subordinate. The main clause is incomplete.
✔ Fragment
4. Lined the perimeter with sandbags.
→ Missing subject. Who lined it?
✔ Fragment
5. Did you order any ketchup sauce?
→ Yes, this is a question with subject ("you") and verb ("did order").
✔ Sentence
6. I don’t think he has enough to live.
→ Subject ("I"), verb ("think"). The embedded clause is complete. Full thought.
✔ Sentence
7. Thought I would leave a note.
→ Missing subject. Who thought?
✔ Fragment
8. It snowed all week long.
→ Subject ("It"), verb ("snowed"). Complete thought.
✔ Sentence
9. That program is so confusing.
→ Subject ("That program"), verb ("is"). Complete thought.
✔ Sentence
10. Normally, I thought that food tasted weird.
→ Subject ("I"), verb ("thought"). Complete thought.
✔ Sentence
11. Nearly twenty people entered. (Verbal)
→ Subject ("twenty people"), verb ("entered"). This is a full sentence.
✔ Sentence
Note: The "(Verbal)" likely indicates this is a verbal phrase exercise, but grammatically, this is a complete sentence.
