Answer 2

The correct answer is the third statement, because it is not a complete sentence. Complete sentences have independent clauses, which are groups of words that contain both a subject and a verb. However, independent clauses cannot be found in sentence fragments.

In the sentence fragment "Mikhail Baryshnikov, one of the twentieth century’s finest ballet dancers and known throughout the world.", the sentence is incomplete, if you look at it closely. There is no independent clause. For it to be a complete sentence, it should be something like "Mikhail Baryshnikov, one of the twentieth century’s finest ballet dancers and known throughout the world, was born in Riga, Latvia."
