Question

A sentence fragment is:

OA. two or more independent clauses joined by a comma.
B. two or more predicates joined by a coordinating conjunction.
C. a group of words that cannot stand alone as a sentence.
D. a clause that can stand alone as a sentence.

Answer 1

C. a group of words that cannot stand alone as a sentence is a sentence fragment.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence that does not express a complete thought or idea. It is often missing a subject or a verb, or it may be a subordinate clause that cannot stand on its own. In order for a group of words to be considered a sentence, it must have both a subject and a verb and express a complete thought. A sentence fragment, on the other hand, is a group of words that does not meet these criteria and cannot stand alone as a sentence.
