Answer:
This is an example of compression because:
C. It uses fragments instead of complete sentences.
Explanation:
Let's analyze "For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn." What we have here are not complete sentences, but fragments. That means words are missing, such as verbs, subjects, etc. Let's imagine what the whole passage would be like if we added everything that is missing:
- Items that are for sale: baby shoes that were never worn.
It is too much. There is no need to use all that to advertise an item. Thus, we can compress the sentences by fragmenting them and using only the most important parts. What we need to know is that something is for sale. It is baby shoes. They were never worn. Thus: For Sale: "Baby Shoes, Never Worn." That is all we need.
That is common when we need to convey a message quickly and directly. Notice that the signs placed in front of houses that are for sale never say "this house is for sale." We can infer that it is the house they are talking about.
The incorrect phrase is sports after class. I don't know if this will help.
English has two forms of comparison (apart from the word in its standard form, sometimes called the positive degree, with as...as): comparative, with the ending -er (for example "taller" ) and the superlative, with the ending "-est", for example "tallest".
"totally destroyed" is neither comparative nor superlative, so it's positive!
