Which of the following selections contains a fragment? If none of the selections contains a fragment, select "Correct."

a) To prepare for the 10K race.

b) Eric eliminated greasy foods from his diet and began eating fresh fruits and vegetables.

c) He also began getting at least eight hours of sleep every night.

d) correct

I think (a) because it starts with a preposition phrase but doesnt end with any thing?? Both (B) and (C) are complete sentences.

You're right, A is not a complete sentence.

You are correct. Option (a) "To prepare for the 10K race." is a fragment because it is not a complete sentence. It starts with an infinitive phrase but does not have a subject and a verb to make it a complete sentence. Options (b) and (c) are complete sentences, so the answer is indeed (a).

You are correct, (a) "To prepare for the 10K race." is a fragment. A fragment is an incomplete sentence that does not express a complete thought. To determine if a sentence is a fragment, you can check if it contains a subject and a verb and if it expresses a complete thought.

In the case of option (a), "To prepare for the 10K race." is a prepositional phrase and does not have a subject or verb, making it a fragment.

Options (b) and (c), on the other hand, are complete sentences. They both contain a subject ("Eric") and a verb ("eliminated" and "began"), and they express a complete thought.

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) "To prepare for the 10K race," as it is a fragment.
