Question 5 • 26/27 ENGLISH 11 A

Identify the sentence fragment?

Answer
A
Phyllis Wheatly was an African American poet in colonial America.
B
Phyllis Wheatly and other African American women writers in colonial America.

Explanation

Choice B is a fragment because it names Phyllis Wheatley and other writers but does not say what they did or provide a complete predicate. Choice A is a complete sentence: “Phyllis Wheatly” is the subject, and “was an African American poet in colonial America” tells us something about her.
