Answer 1

Answer:

1) B

2) C

3) A

4) B

Explanation:

1) A sentence fragment cannot stand on its own, it does not have complete meaning as it is missing parts of speech (Smoking less last month).

2) The best revision is "Troy and Gina dropped out of school to join the army" since there is no need to add a punctuation mark in the middle of the sentence.

3) The correct startegy to join both sentences is to remove the period after the owrd "budget" and making "to" lowercase.

4) A sentence fragment cannot stand on its own, it does not have complete meaning as it is missing parts of speech (Such as skiing, football, and white-water rafting).
