Sentence fragment

Back

Incomplete sentence

Answer explanation

A fragment is an incomplete sentence because it does not express a complete thought. The correct choice highlights that a fragment lacks the necessary components to stand alone as a full sentence.

Complete sentence: subject + predicate = complete thought.

Back

A complete sentence consists of a subject and a predicate, and is a complete thought.

Answer explanation

A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate to express a complete thought. The correct choice highlights this essential structure, while the other options are incorrect as they do not define a complete sentence accurately.

Back

e, e-e, y

The letter 'e' can be spelled as 'e', 'e-e', and 'y'. Other options like 'ei', 'ey', 'ee', 'ea', and 'ie' do not represent the spelling of 'e' itself. Therefore, the correct answer is 'e, e-e, y'.

Three sounds of 'ed':

Back

d, t, id

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'i, i-e, y' as these are all valid ways to spell the sound of the letter 'i'. 'ie' and 'eye' do not represent the same spelling variations.
