Answer:

C is a sentence fragment.

Explanation:

Sentence fragments are groups of words that look like sentences, but aren't. In order to be a sentence, groups of words need at least to have one independent clause. An independent clause is any group of words that contain both a subject and a verb and can stand alone as a sentence since it represents a complete thought.

The sentence above is not an independent clause, but a dependent one. It does not represent a complete thought, and therefore fails to stand on its own (see 1). The clause "he had built as a kid" modifies the noun "tree fort", so the pronoun "he" acts as the subject of that IP but it is not the subject of the clause. The subject of "hiding in the tree fort he had built as a kid" is an empty category linked to the overt subject of the main clause, yet there is no main clause, so the sentence lacks both the subject and the verb functioning as the predicate.

1) *Hiding in the tree fort he had built as a kid

I need a paragraph on how social media is good for teens in terms of entertainment. Help and I might give you brainliest if it’s

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Social media is a big part of many young people’s social and creative lives. Social media is becoming increasingly embedded in apps, games, websites and even learning environments, so it’s hard to ban, even for younger children. And if you ban social media, your child might be more tempted to check it out when they’re away from home. This means you miss the opportunity to teach your child how to navigate social media risks and behave respectfully on social media.

Children and teenagers use social media to have fun, make and maintain friendships, share interests, explore identities and develop relationships with family. It’s an extension of their offline and face-to-face interactions. For older teenagers especially, it’s often a key part of how they connect with friends.

Social media can connect children and teenagers to online global communities based on shared interests. These might be support networks – for example, for young people with disability or medical conditions, teenagers, or children from particular cultural backgrounds. Or they might be sites for commenting on and sharing content about particular interests like games, TV series, music or hobbies.

On the other hand,in order to keep your teen kid safe, try by blocking and reporting people they don’t know or people who post upsetting comments or content.

Identify the sentence using the active voice. A. The truck driver was given a ticket by the police officer. B. The truck driver

Serhud [2]

Answer:

C. The police officer gave a ticket to the truck driver.

Explanation:

The subject police is doing the verb - "gave" to the truck driver. And the use of "by" towards the end of the sentence is not valid in active voice. The subject-verb relationship changes in the passive voice. So, while the other three options (A, B and D) all put the subject "police officer" at the end of the sentence, that means it is already in the passive voice, added with the use of "by" in these sentences. So, the correct sentence that is in the active voice is option C.
