Final answer:

1) Always cushion the brain' and 2) 'Burned by the curling iron,' corresponding to option (2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete sentences for the given phrases can be constructed as follows:

  1. Always cushion the brain.
  2. Burned by the curling iron.

When it comes to fixing sentences with proper punctuation, commas must be placed to separate clauses or to properly link ideas. For example:

  1. I finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time.
  2. Mrs. Contreras threw out her old coffee table and cleaned the carpet.
  3. Taking the elevator to the roof, we hoped we could see the skyline and the bay.
  4. Though Susan wasn't feeling well, she went to the store anyway and bought ice cream, pizza, and candy.
  5. I let my neighbor borrow my phone because she said hers was tapped by the police.

In identifying parts of speech, we look at the function each word plays in a sentence. Nouns are naming words; verbs describe actions or states of being; adjectives describe nouns; and adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

For example, in the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps swiftly", fox is a noun, quick brown are adjectives, jumps is a verb, and swiftly is an adverb. Therefore, the correct choice would be option (2) Cushion, Curling.
