Question

Which answer is the sentence fragment? A. A 757 jumbo jet on the way home to Burlington, Vermont. B. Mr. Sharp's trip took him from Vermont to Tucson, Arizona. C. They looked like a volcano oozing lava, he thought. D. At night, he said, he could see wildfires burning in the hills.

Answer 1

(A) is the fragment because there is no verb; the entire phrase is just describing the jet, but it doesn't say what the jet does.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

(A) A 757 jumbo jet on the way home to Burlington, Vermont is the correct answer.

(B) (C) and (C) are all complete sentences because they correctly include a subject and a verb.

(A) is the fragment because there is no verb; the entire phrase is just describing the jet, but it doesn't say what the jet does. ("on the way home" is a phrase describing the status of the jet, not the action of the jet. The word "is" would have to come before "on" for it to be a complete sentence because "is" is a verb)
