You're welcome.
To determine which choice is a complete sentence, it is important to understand what constitutes a complete sentence. A complete sentence generally includes a subject and a predicate, which usually consists of a verb.
Let's analyze each choice:
A- "Stacks of books to be shelved."
This choice is a noun phrase, but it does not have a subject and a verb, so it is not a complete sentence.
B- "When Francine cooked dinner for the first time."
This choice is a dependent clause that starts with the subordinating conjunction "when." It does not have a subject and a verb that can stand alone as a complete sentence.
C- "The actor played the leading role."
This choice has a subject, "the actor," and a predicate, "played the leading role." Therefore, it is a complete sentence.
D- "Gave her a blue bicycle for her birthday."
This choice starts with the verb "gave" but does not have a subject. It is also a sentence fragment and not a complete sentence.
Based on the analysis, the correct choice that is a complete sentence is C- "The actor played the leading role."
