I think the answer would be " C. understanding the author's purpose " because when you annotate something you aren't just describing it , you are formulating an explanation
Antecedent is an expression that gives meaning to the word coming after that. For example, I was late to the meeting because police held me for speeding. In this sentence, pronoun me is an explained word which explain another pronoun - I. Antecedent has been used correctly in this sentence. In this question, the first option is correct. Antecedent has been used incorrectly in the second sentence because it's unclear who is considered with the pronoun he. The third option is also an incorrect antecedent because the explaining word has not been given.
Answer:
Barack Obama, who won the presidential election in 2008 and was inaugurated in 2009.
Explanation:
A sentence fragment is a group of phrases of a sentence but does not make or form a complete sentence. Sentence fragments, like the name, are just fragments of a sentence which may include dependent clauses and also have both subject and a verb in it. But they do not form or make a complete meaningful sentence.
In the given options, the <u>example of a sentence fragment is the third option.</u> In it, the phrase is "<u><em>Barack Obama, who won the presidential election in 2008 and was inaugurated in 2009"</em></u> contains just a part of the whole sentence, meaning it left off the sentence in between without any resolution or end sentence. This <u>fragment contains just some bits of information about Obama and does not make a complete and meaningful sentence.
