Final answer:

Only two of the statements provided are complete sentences: 'South Dakota claims Mount Rushmore as its most famous national monument' and 'Marketers faced unique challenges when advertising their products during the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.' Option B and E is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the given statements are complete sentences, we must assess each statement's structure to ensure it has a subject, a verb, and conveys a complete thought. Here's an analysis of each statement:

  1. Studies show that many children with autism display. This statement is incomplete; it lacks a direct object or further information to complete the thought.
  2. South Dakota claims Mount Rushmore as its most famous national monument. This is a complete sentence with a subject (South Dakota), a verb (claims), and a complete thought.
  3. Carl Jung widely considered the founder of analytical psychology. This statement is missing a verb to be complete. It should be 'is widely considered' to be a complete sentence.
  4. Sailed from Spain to the Americas under the patronage of the King and Queen of Spain. This sentence lacks a clear subject who performed the action of sailing.
  5. Marketers faced unique challenges when advertising their products during the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. This is a complete sentence, with a subject (marketers), a verb (faced), and a complete thought.

Thus, the complete sentences are:

  • South Dakota claims Mount Rushmore as its most famous national monument (b).
  • Marketers faced unique challenges when advertising their products during the 2014 Olympics in Sochi (e).
