The sentence below may contain a fragment or run-on sentence. If you think the sentence is correct and does not contain a fragme
pogonyaev

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

When independent clauses are joined incorrectly (with improper punctuation or conjunction), we have what is called a run-on sentence. An independent clause is a group of words that can stay alone as a sentence, which means it offers information that makes sense without the help of another sentence.

A sentence fragment is basically an incomplete sentence. That means it is a phrase that is missing a key element, such as a verb or a subject, or a phrase that is dependent on a main clause but has been detached from it through wrong punctuation.

The sentence "After falling to the warm, damp forest floor, plants decay and release nutrients" is complete, and the punctuation is used appropriately. It might look confusing at first since the main clause came after the subordinate one. If we invert the clauses, we'll see there is no problem with the sentence - note that a comma will disappear now that the main clause comes first:

Plants decay and release nutrients after falling to the warm, damp forest floor.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

C. Kuno’s prediction and Vashti’s revisiting of the prediction

Explanation:

The book "The Machine Stops" is a short story that describes people who live underground and are solely dependent on a machine to solve the physical and spiritual needs.

Vashti is one of the inhabitants along with her son Kuno. Vashti is an obedient follower of the machine and its actions and decisions but Kuno is a rebel who is not happy with the way things are run underground and is eager to leave.

He tries to escape but is caught and forced to stay back, then subsequently he begins to see defects in the Machine and predicts its collapse, Vashti brushes aside his predictions even though they become more glaring each day.

Eventually when the defects become too much, Vashti revistists the prediction of Kuno and begins to brood. This causes suspense and confusion.

OLga [1]
The correct answer here is D.

Prior to attack on Pearl Harbor which occurred, as the quote states, on <span>December 7th, 1941, the United States were officially a neutral party not involved in the War between the Allies and the Axis. The attack was unprovoked and resulted in the massive loss of life. That is why, because there was no imminent reason to attack the US, that that day will live in infamy.</span>
