1. "Chocolate milk, chocolate fudge, ice cream, and candy." - This is not a complete sentence as it lacks a subject and a predicate. It is simply a list of items.
2. "The average American nearly twelve pounds of chocolate each year." - This is a complete sentence. It has a subject ("The average American") and a predicate ("eats nearly twelve pounds of chocolate each year").
3. "The scientific name for chocolate is Theobrina cacao." - This is also a complete sentence. It has a subject ("The scientific name for chocolate") and a predicate ("is Theobrina cacao").
4. "Loosely translated to 'the food of the gods.'" - This is not a complete sentence as it lacks a subject and a predicate. It is a phrase that provides additional information.
