Question

1. read the paragraph.

(1) sweat poured off my forehead and pooled on the desk. (2) how much time was left to complete the test? (3) all i could do was keep writing. (4) while i waited for the bell to ring.
which sentence is a fragment?
○ sentence 3
○ sentence 1
○ sentence 2
○ sentence 4

Explanation:

A sentence fragment lacks a complete thought. Sentence 4 ("While I waited for the bell to ring") is a dependent clause that does not express a full, standalone idea, unlike the other complete sentences: (1) is a complete declarative sentence, (2) is a complete interrogative sentence, and (3) is a complete declarative sentence.

Answer:

sentence 4
