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

What topics are explored or discussed in Chapter 1 of "The things they carried"
Xelga [282]
First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. They were not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack. In the late afternoon, after a day's march, he would dig his foxhole, wash his hands under a canteen, unwrap the letters, hold them with the tips of his fingers, and spend the last hour of light pretending. He would imagine romantic camping trips into the White Mountains in New Hampshire. He would sometimes taste the envelope flaps, knowing her tongue had been there. More than anything, he wanted Martha to love him as he loved her, but the letters were mostly chatty, elusive on the matter of love. She was a virgin, he was almost sure. She was an English major at Mount Sebastian, and she wrote beautifully about her professors and roommates and midterm exams, about her respect for Chaucer and her great affection for Virginia Woolf. She often quoted lines of poetry; she never mentioned the war, except to say, Jimmy, take care of yourself. The letters weighed 10 ounces. They were signed Love, Martha, but Lieutenant Cross understood that Love was only a way of signing and did not mean what he sometimes pretended it meant. At dusk, he would carefully return the letters to his rucksack. Slowly, a bit distracted, he would get up and move among his men, checking the perimeter, then at full dark he would return to his hole and watch the night and wonder if Martha was a virgin.

Write a paragraph on how you spent your vacation
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Summer vacations are the most awaited time of the year for every student in their life. Summer vacations bring a lot of chances to get involved in many things that we have been hoping to do. It reminds me that holidays are more useful if you utilize them properly by doing something useful.

Moreover, summer vacations offer every student a chance to take a break from their daily routine, enjoy their present time with their family and friends. Students eagerly wait for their summer vacations every year. They always hope of doing something worthy that liberates them from the regular routine of studies and habits.
