Answer:

<u> C. It does not have a subject. </u>

Explanation:

A fragment is a group of words similar to a sentence in the sense that it starts with a capital letter and ends with an end mark but that in reality, it is not a sentence as it does not convey a complete idea. In this sense, a fragment is more like a phrase or a dependent clause, but standing alone.

<em>Hoping to beat his time from last year. </em>is a fragment because it does not express a complete thought. In order to correct it, we must add an independent or main clause that contains a subject, for example:

Hoping to beat his time from last year, <u>Theo</u> was determined to work even harder this time.

<em>Theo: Subject.</em>

Select the correct text in the passage.
zvonat [6]

The two excerpts that best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his transformation are:

1. He got into the habit of closely watching it for one or two hours before it was opened and then, lying in the darkness of his room where he could not be seen from the living room, he could watch the family in the light of the dinner table and listen to their conversation—with everyone's permission, in a way, and thus quite differently from before.

2. Gregor never responded to being spoken to in that way, but just remained where he was without moving as if the door had never even been opened. If only they had told this charwoman to clean up his room every day instead of letting her disturb him for no reason whenever she felt like it!

The excerpts are taken from 'The Metamorphosis' by Franz Kafka. The above two excerpts reflect how Gregor's isolated condition was after he transformed.

For instance, he used to spend time in his dark room, watching things for hours without him being watched by anyone else. Also, he never liked communicating with any of his family members.
