Answer 1

To fix the fragment, you can either remove the word 'is' or connect the two sentences with a comma.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence "Laura is busy tonight. Working on her English essay." is a fragment because it doesn't form a complete thought. To fix this, you can either remove the word "is" or connect the two sentences by adding a comma. The correct options would be:

• Laura busy tonight. Working on her English essay.
• Laura is busy tonight, working on her English essay.

Both of these options create a complete thought and fix the sentence by either eliminating the subject or connecting the sentences appropriately.
