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.

How does Lennie's problem with his puppy at the beginning of Chapter 5 foreshadow the events at the end of the chapter?

Martha Washington's statements in "excerpt from Incident at Valley
Svet_ta [14]

Hi. You did not submit the specific excerpt from "Incident at Valley Forge" which makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, if we consider the entire text, we can see that Marta Washington, in general, acts in a very optimistic way.

That's because "Incident at Valley Forge" seeks to present what happened in Valley Forge during the American Revolution, while George Washington led the fighting force against England's army. In this text, Marta Washington is very optimistic, certain that everything will go well for the continental army. She believes that they will achieve victory and that everyone will return safely to their homes.
