Question

fragments, comma splices, and run-on sentences. identify the following groups of words. education is an elusive word because it often means different things to different people. a fragment b comma splice c run - on/fused d correctly punctuated

Explanation:

A fragment is an incomplete sentence. A comma splice incorrectly joins two independent clauses with a comma. A run - on/fused sentence incorrectly joins two independent clauses without proper punctuation. Here, “Education is an elusive word because it often means different things to different people” is a complex sentence. The main clause is “Education is an elusive word” and the subordinate clause is “because it often means different things to different people”. It is correctly punctuated as the subordinating conjunction “because” properly connects the two parts.

Answer:

D. Correctly Punctuated
