To identify the example of an adverbial clause fragment among the given options, we need to understand what an adverbial clause is and how to recognize a sentence fragment.
An adverbial clause is a type of subordinate clause that functions as an adverb in a sentence. It modifies verbs, adjectives, or adverbs and often provides information about time, place, manner, condition, or reason. Adverbial clauses usually begin with a subordinating conjunction, such as "wherever," "when," "before," "after," "because," etc.
On the other hand, a sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence that lacks a subject, a predicate, or both. It does not express a complete thought and cannot stand alone as a sentence.
Now, let's analyze each option to determine which one is an example of an adverbial clause fragment:
A. "wherever there is a chance for a fabulous meal"
This option begins with the subordinating conjunction "wherever," which suggests the presence of an adverbial clause. However, there is no main clause present in this option, making it a sentence fragment. Therefore, option A is an example of an adverbial clause fragment.
B. "who described the book as a compelling masterpiece"
This option does not begin with a subordinating conjunction and lacks the characteristics of an adverbial clause. Instead, it seems to be a relative clause modifying the noun "who." Therefore, option B is not an example of an adverbial clause fragment.
C. "that the poet choose words carefully to convey a particular tone"
Similar to option B, this option begins with the subordinating conjunction "that" but does not function as an adverbial clause. Instead, it appears to be a noun clause functioning as the object of a verb. Therefore, option C is not an example of an adverbial clause fragment.
Based on the analysis, you are correct. The example of an adverbial clause fragment is:
A. "wherever there is a chance for a fabulous meal"
