Question

Is the following a sentence fragment or a run-on sentence, and how should it be corrected??

• Whereas his mother, Diana, held the title of Princess of Wales.
This is a sentence fragment because it is a dependent clause. A correct version could be: Whereas his mother, Diana, held the title of
Princess of Wales, his father held the title Prince of Wales.
O This is a run-on sentence because of its length. A correct version could be: His mother, Diana, held the title of Princess of Wales.
O
This is a run-on sentence because it combines two complete sentences (or independent clauses) with a comma. A correct version
could be: Whereas his mother, Diana held the title of Princess of Wales.
O This is a sentence fragment because it is a dependent clause. A correct version could be: Whereas his mother, Diana.

Answer 1

A. This is a sentence fragment because it is a dependent clause. A correct version could be: Whereas his mother, Diana, held the title of Princess of Wales, his father held the title Prince of Wales.

Step-by-step explanation:

The preceding sentence is a fragment sentence since it does not represent a full thought. Because of the term "whereas" it became a dependent clause. To fix it, remove the term "whereas." whereas is not capitalized because it is not a proper noun or adjective.
