Question 7 • GA-Literature and Composition I CR

Read the sentence.The pirate who sailed his ship in the Atlantic Ocean pilfering from British naval ships and irritating the British navy.

Answer
A
The sentence is incomplete because it lacks a complete subject.
B
The sentence is incomplete because it lacks a complete predicate.
C
The sentence is incomplete because it lacks a direct object.
D
The sentence is incomplete because it lacks a indirect object.

Explanation

“The pirate” is the complete subject, and “who sailed his ship…” is a clause describing that pirate. But the sentence never states what the pirate did as the main action, so it lacks a complete predicate. For example, adding “was feared by the British navy” would complete it. The correct choice is B, incomplete because it lacks a complete predicate.
