Question

test part 1: identifying dependent and independent clauses
question 6 of 35
is the highlighted portion of the sentence a complete or incomplete thought?
running as fast as he could, alan martinez made it to class on time.
complete thought incomplete thought

Explanation:

A dependent clause (like the highlighted "Running as fast as he could") doesn't express a complete thought on its own. It relies on the independent clause ("Alan Martinez made it to class on time") for full meaning. So the highlighted portion is an incomplete thought.

Answer:

Incomplete Thought
