Question

"Read the following text.

It was just cold enough to make your cheeks feel tingly and numb, and I had just arrived home when Jason came out the door and asked me if I wanted to make a snowman, and I said yes we made a large snowman.

Select the best description for the text.

a) A complete sentence
b) A fragment missing a subject
c) A fragment missing a verb
d) A run-on sentence

Answer 1

The text in question is a fragment missing a verb. A complete sentence requires a subject, verb, and complete thought.

Step-by-step explanation:

The text in question is a fragment missing a verb. A complete sentence requires a subject, verb, and complete thought, but the text only provides a subject and a dependent clause. The text reads, "and I said yes we made a large snowman." This is not a complete sentence because it is missing a verb. To make it a complete sentence, it could be revised as "and I said yes, so we made a large snowman."
