Question 5 • AL-English Language Arts 11 Critical Standards

Which is an example of a sentence fragment?

Answer
T
Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was published in 1776.
T
Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, which was published in 1776.
C
Common Sense was written by Thomas Paine and published in 1776.
C
Common Sense, authored by Thomas Paine, was published in 1776.

Explanation

B is a sentence fragment because “which was published in 1776” is a dependent clause: “which” connects it to another idea, so it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. The other choices each express a complete thought with a main subject and verb, such as “Common Sense was written.”
