Question

2. Which group of words is a sentence rather than a fragment?

A Cicadas live only one month.
B Trying to stay out of sight, move around a branch, hiding from view.

C Work their way a few centimeters into the soil and feed on the sap of
tree roots.
D By fastening themselves securely to tree trunks to molt their outer
cases.

Answer 1

Answer: A Cicadas live only one month.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence. Fragments are either made of dependent clauses, or lack subject/predicate. Complete sentences, on the other hand, have both the subject and the predicate, and are independent. It means that complete sentences can exist on their own.

The only complete sentence is Cicadas live only one month. This sentence can exist on its own, and contains both the subject and the predicate.
