Question

Which of these fragments requires only a predicate in order to be written as a complete sentence? the state of virginia can be divided into different geographical regions by the atlantic ocean which includes a mountain range?

Answer 1

"
the state of Virginia" is the correct answer

Answer 2

"The state of Virginia"

Step-by-step explanation:

The fragment "the state of Virginia" is a noun phrase, which could function as a subject in a sentence. However, for a sentence to be complete, we also need a predicate. The predicate is the part of the sentence that complements the subject and the one that contains the verb. For example, if our sentence was "The state of Virginia is next to the ocean," "is next to the ocean" would be our predicate. If a predicate was added to this fragment, it would create a complete sentence.
