Question

Read each item. Choose S if the item is a complete sentence or F if the item is a fragment.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. F

Explanation:

A fragment differs from a complete sentence because fragments do not express a complete idea or include both a subject and a verb that are necessary for a sentence, instead fragments tend to include only a subject or only a verb along with other words that complete them. In the case of "Scurried across the field" this item is a fragment (F) because it contains the main verb "scurried" that means to rush along with other words that complete the meaning of the verb "across the field" but it does not contain a subject or specifies who or what was hurrying.

Answer 2

Scurried across the field.

This is a fragment.

A sentence needs to have a noun and a verb. The phrase, doesn't have a noun.
