Example Question #1 :Understand And Edit For Grammar

Select the complete sentence.

Possible Answers:

Eric ran up the mountain.

Joe's freezing cold coffee.

Blowing in the wind.

Running fast, fast, fast.

Correct answer:

Eric ran up the mountain.

Explanation:

A sentence conveys a complete thought and includes both a subject and a verb. In contrast, a sentence fragment does not convey a complete thought, and will normally not include either a subject or a verb.

"Running fast, fast, fast." is a sentence fragment because it does not convey a complete thought and it is missing a subject.

"Blowing in the wind." is a sentence fragment because it does not convey a complete thought and it is missing a subject.

"Joe's freezing cold coffee." is a sentence fragment because it does not convey a complete thought and it is missing a verb.

"Eric ran up the mountain." is a complete sentence because it does convey a complete thought and includes a subject, "Eric", and a verb, "ran".

Explanation:

A sentence conveys a complete thought and includes both a subject and a verb. In contrast, a sentence fragment does not convey a complete thought, and will normally not include either a subject or a verb.

"Bunches and bunches of chocolate and whip cream." is a sentence fragment because it does not convey a complete thought and it is missing a verb.

While Hannah was playing outside, snow began to fall from the sky. As she lifted her head up towards the clouds, a snowflake lightlylanded onthe tip of her nose.

Possible Answers:

fell on

land

kissed

hit

Correct answer:

kissed

Explanation:

Writers use personification to give human characteristics to inanimate or non-living objects.

在这种情况下,我们正在寻找一个词来代替"landed"; however, the new word needs to possess human characteristics or attributes (i.e. something that a human would do, that an object can't do). In this sentence, the best answer is "kissed."
