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."

How did prisoners arrive at the guillotine for execution
KatRina [158]

I believe they were walked to the guillotine and told to kneel at the head of it. They would then be executed while people watched. It was brutal in that time.
