Answer 1

Sentence fragments were corrected by ensuring each sentence has a subject, verb, and complete thought. Examples include combining related clauses and rephrasing to clarify the subjects and actions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correcting sentence fragments requires ensuring that each sentence has a subject, a verb, and expresses a complete thought. Here are the revised sentences:

• The dog loved his new toys, especially the ones that squeaked.
• Maggie remembered her childhood and her mother making pancakes for dinner in the small apartment.
• She decided to meet her new friend, whom she had arranged to see over e-mail, in a public place.
• Because she met him on MySpace, she thought it was a good idea to be cautious.
• I cannot wait until President's Day; finally, a day off.

Now each sentence is properly constructed with subjects and verbs, and they all express complete thoughts.
