3 0
Prepositions describe the relationship between words in a sentence. They usually come before a noun or pronoun and show their relationship through a time, place, or direction. 

Examples of prepositions:
The dog lays beside the sofa. ⇒ <em>Beside</em> is a preposition of place.
After a few weeks, the flower began to bloom. ⇒ <em>After</em> is a preposition of time.
The woman slowly walked away from the mad dog. ⇒ <em>Away from</em> is a preposition of direction.

Which of the following are sentence fragments? I. Sarah who works at the CD store. II. She smiled. III. At noon tomorrow.
Leno4ka [110]
Fragments are sentences that aren't complete due to their lack of at least one independent clause. They may resemble sentences but are not when read clearly.

For the choices above, the first choice, Sarah who works at the CD store. is considered a great example of a fragment sentence and is the correct choice. I am not sure if this is a multiple choice question or a "check all that apply" question. If you are meant to choose only one answer, then go for the first one. However, if you can check more than one, then choose I and III but not II. 

Let me know if you need further info. :)

Excerpt from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's speech to Congress: "Yesterday, December 7, 1941, a date that will live in in
USPshnik [31]
<span>The use of the phrasing "a date which will live in infamy" is an example of an application of an aphorism in speechwriting. An aphorism is a short saying which encapsulates a meaning or idea so fully that it can continue to live on in its own right beyond the context of its initial application. FDR's statement falls squarely into this category, having been used in continual application for many decades since its initial use.</span>

Which item would be considered an actor's medium?
andrew11 [14]
An actor's medium would basically be drama or theater. It is because it is in the theater that the actor can showcase his acting skills. Though film also involves acting, in theaters acting is being performed live unlike in films that scenes are to be edited before making the final one being shown in cinemas.
