Wallace places emphasis on the word "adjust" because he is addressing our realities and way of thinking as "default." He expresses the importance of paying attention to your surroundings, and adjusting to other perspectives and ways of thinking. He compares our ignored experiences to the water fish swim in but were never taught to notice.

Read each word group carefully. If the word group is a sentence, put an A in the blank. If it is a fragment, put a B in the blan
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

1.B

2.A

3.A

4.B

5.B

6.B

7.A

8.B

9.A

10.B

Explanation:

"A fragment resembles a sentence in two ways. Both groups of words begin with a capital letter and conclude with an end mark—usually a period (  .  ) but sometimes a question mark (  ?  ) or an exclamation point (  !  ).

The one important difference is that a fragment does not contain a main clause. Like an engine, the main clause powers a complete sentence, propelling the reader through the development of an idea. A fragment, missing this essential component, stalls on the page.

To have a main clause, you must find three things: a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. If you are missing one of these three items, a fragment is the result.

Here are examples of fragments:

ex) And yawned loudly enough to make everyone in class turn around.

Subject = Ø ; verb = yawned; complete thought = Ø.

ex) The boy sitting on the fire escape, dropping water balloons on the pedestrians below.

Subject = boy; verb = Ø; complete thought = Ø.

ex) After Gabriel ate half a box of donuts.

Subject = Gabriel; verb = ate; complete thought = Ø."
