1. A. is the best choice for a business letter.

The one selected, B., Seems incorrect as the semicolon in the second option is in a weird place because “prior to approval” should be connected to “must occur”. A formal business letter should not have bullet points or sentence fragments.


2. Which is NOT a sentence fragment?
I think D. None of the above is the best choice because the other options all appear to be incomplete sentences.

A. IS a sentence fragment because “which” is a clause reliant on a subject (that it modifies) but here it is kind of ambiguous. What is listed? We do not know.
B. Sounds like a bullet point, brief and missing words. This one IS a fragment.
C. And D. Both seem to be missing the second half of their sentences. These appear to be fragments.

Answer:

It may be a single word, a group of words, a phrase, or a dependent clause, but it is not a complete sentence on its own. A sentence fragment does not qualify as a true or complete sentence because it is missing one or more of the following four elements: Subject. Verb/predicate.
