Question

read the example.
if you want to know how dickenss last novel would end.
what common error in sentence construction is evident in this example?

○ comma splice
○ run-on sentence
○ sentence fragment
○ missing conjunction

Explanation:

A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence that lacks a complete thought, a subject, or a predicate. The example "If you want to know how Dickens's last novel would end" is a dependent clause that does not express a full standalone idea, so it is a fragment. A comma splice involves two independent clauses joined only by a comma; a run-on sentence joins independent clauses without proper punctuation/conjunction; a missing conjunction would involve two clauses that need a connecting word, which does not apply here.

Answer:

sentence fragment
