Question

are these complete sentences, or is one of them a fragment? the tour group went sightseeing around the island. marceline the vampire queen, meanwhile, sitting on the beach and reading a book. complete sentences fragment

Explanation:

A complete sentence has a subject and a predicate. The first sentence "The tour group went sightseeing around the island" has a subject (The tour group) and a predicate (went sightseeing around the island). The second part "Marceline the Vampire Queen, meanwhile, sitting on the beach and reading a book" has a subject (Marceline the Vampire Queen) but the verb form is incorrect. It should be "was sitting" to form a complete predicate. So it is a fragment.

Answer:

Fragment
