Question

is this a sentence fragment? the number of tornadoes recorded in the united states over the past few decades. yes no submit

Explanation:

A sentence fragment is a group of words that does not express a complete thought. The given phrase "The number of tornadoes recorded in the United States over the past few decades" lacks a predicate (a verb or verb phrase that tells what the subject does or is). It only presents a subject and some descriptive information about it, without a complete sentence structure. So it is a sentence fragment.

Answer:

yes
