question 3 (2 points)
(02.02 mc)
which of the following is a sentence fragment?
a we first met last week
b we met
c we met first
d when we first met

Explanation:

• Question 1: "Since" is a correct subordinate - conjunction indicating a cause - and - effect relationship. "After" in option a is used incorrectly here. Option c has the cause - and - effect reversed. Option d is a run - on sentence.
• Question 2: An absolute phrase modifies the whole sentence and is not closely related to any single word in the sentence. "Filled with emotion" is an absolute phrase modifying the action "rang the doorbell".
• Question 3: A sentence fragment is an incomplete thought. "When we first met" is a dependent clause and not a complete sentence. The others are independent clauses.

Answer:

• Question 1: b. Since we want to go to the fair we're going to have to save our money.
• Question 2: b. filled with emotion
• Question 3: d. When we first met
