C B and A Hope this helps!!!!
I would say that all scenarios that are not too complex could be a basis for a short story, but also in principle, you could shorten and simplify any story to make a short story out of it!
So there is no clear distinction.
But among the options, the better candidates are:
a championship basketball game in which a new player is the star
a family mix-up over selecting a birthday present for Dad
the mysterious disappearance of a cake from the pantry
The other options are potentially too complex.
A, like right here, if we were right next to eachother i oculd tell you its "number A"! lol
The correct answer is sentence (5).
A sentence fragment means that it is only a part of a sentence; it is not complete. Given that it is incomplete, the fragment, aka subordinate/dependent sentence, has to be part of a larger, independent sentence, in order to make any sense. So if you combined sentence (5) with another one, it wouldn't be a fragment anymore.
