Well we already know what a sentence is, but a fragment sentence is basically an incomplete sentence, like "I love marshmallows."

Sentences don't start with "Because, By, Works, etc"

vianne · Answer

I think 7 and 9 could be sentences..

firejay5 · Answer

@Vianne 7 & 9 ARE NOT a complete thought in my opinion; I re-wrote #7 and #9 and put the following:

7. A concept that became apparent in 1915 was exceptional.
9. Willie Stieglitz, a promoter and art exhibitor, eats small animals.
