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."

Which sentence or pair of sentences illustrates wordiness and redundancy?
irina [24]

Answer:

b. Jupiter is the largest and most prominent planet in the solar system. It is the fifth planet in the solar system, followed by the planet Saturn, which is the sixth planet in the solar system.

Explanation:

"Largest and most prominent" is redundant.

To say that Saturn is the sixth planet after saying that Jupiter is the fifth planet is overly wordy.
