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 group of words, ask:
1. Is there a subject?
2. Is there a verb?
3. Does it express a complete idea?
If
all three are present → it's a
sentence
If
any one is missing → it's a
fragment

🧩 Example Analysis
Let’s assume the worksheet includes items like these (common in such exercises):
1.
The dog barked loudly.
→ Subject: "The dog", Verb: "barked" → Complete thought →
✔ Sentence
2.
Running down the street.
→ No subject, no complete thought →
✘ Fragment
3.
She went to the store.
→ Subject: "She", Verb: "went" → Complete →
✔ Sentence
4.
Because she was late.
→ Starts with a subordinating conjunction, no main clause →
✘ Fragment
5.
In the morning.
→ Just a prepositional phrase →
✘ Fragment
6.
I like pizza.
→ Subject: "I", Verb: "like" →
✔ Sentence

💡 Tips for Students
- Look for
verbs — they're key!
- Watch out for
dependent clauses (e.g., starting with *because*, *although*, *when*) — they often need more to be complete.
- If the group of words feels “unfinished,” it’s likely a fragment.
