Answer: Fragment (missing predicate)
Explanation:
A sentence fragment is a sentence that is missing either its subject or its main verb.
The answer to this one is D. This is because the sentence does not have a predicate. A sentence's predicate describes what is happening. A sentence is considered a fragment if it lacks a predicate. Consider the following example:
<em>My cousin Fred.</em>
We know Fred is the subject of this phrase, but we have no idea what he's up to. As a result, this isn't a complete sentence.
As "three fish and a turtle" has 2 subjects, the three fish and the turtle, but no predicate to show what they're doing, the sentence is a fragment missing a predicate.
Answer:
A cello is a large instrument with four strings. Similarly, a violin has four strings that can be played by hand or with a bow. (using one of the words)
The sentence that is punctuated correctly and has correct capitalization is: "Have you ever seen a shooting star?" asked Terry. This is the sentence that is correctly punctuated because the rule in quoting a question sentence is applied correctly. A question mark should be put inside the quotation marks. If a question mark is used, it is no longer necessary to put a comma.
