Question

Which group of words is a sentence fragment? The tri-state tornado struck in 1925. Deadly winds whipped up in southeastern Missouri. Blasted the town of Griffin, Indiana. Which other states were touched by the tri-state tornado?

Answer 1

Answer: Blasted the town of Griffin, Indiana.

Explanation: a sentence fragment is a group of words that form a dependent clause (it doesn't make sense on its own), in order to be a complete sentence, it has to be at least one independent clause (a phrase that has a subject, a verb and has meaning on its own). From the given options, the phrase ": Blasted the town of Griffin, Indiana" is a dependent clause (it is lacking the subject), so this means that it is a fragment and not a complete sentence.

Answer 2

Blasted the town of Indiana
