Answer:

A. Fragment

Explanation:

A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence. Some fragments are incomplete because they lack either a subject or a verb, or both.

This particular sentence lacks a verb. "the marionettes" is the subject of the independent clause. "Operated by wires above the stage" is a participial phrase modifying the subject, i.e. providing some description about the subject;  "whose features seemed lifelike" is a dependent clause describing the subject.

As we see, there is <u>no verb to clarify the subject</u>. What does the writer want to say about "the marionettes"? What did they do? or What were they? We have a written fragment, a major writing error.

a. Fragment

This is a fragment because the sentence cannot stand on its own. It does not contain a compete thought. The reason it does not contain a compete idea is that it has no verb in it.

Fill in the blank with some/any/no/much/many/a lot of<br> I didn't sleep ___ hours last night
Fantom [35]

Answer and Explanation:

If you are having a hard time figuring out which word goes into the black, try plugging all the words in to see if it makes sense.

I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

I didn't sleep <em><u>some</u></em> hours last night.

- This doesn't sound right; <em>Some</em> can be used for plural nouns, but because of the way this sentence is structured, it can't be applied.

I didn't sleep <em><u>any </u></em>hours last night.

- Another way of saying any (in this case) is <em><u>at all</u></em>, which would mean the sentence needs to be restructured, which we can't do.

I didn't sleep <em><u>no</u></em> hours last night .

- This isn't correct, because it contains a double negative, which is when two negative words are used in the same clause (group of words containing a verb) to explain a single negative idea.

I didn't sleep <em><u>much</u></em> hours last night.

- Due to hours being a countable plural noun, we can't use much, therefore this is incorrect.

I didn't sleep <em><u>many</u></em><em> </em>hours last night.

- This is correct! If you wanted to replace an amount of hours slept (or not slept), you can use many to show you slept for x amount of time without being specific.
