To identify the complete sentence in each group, we need to look for a group of words that forms a grammatically complete thought. A complete sentence typically consists of a subject and a predicate (which includes a verb).
1. "Responses: Chocolate milk, chocolate fudge, ice cream, and candy." - This is not a complete sentence because it lacks a subject and a predicate. It is just a list of items.
2. "The average American nearly twelve pounds of chocolate each year." - This is a complete sentence. The subject is "The average American," and the predicate is "consumes nearly twelve pounds of chocolate each year."
3. "The scientific name for chocolate is Theobroma cacao." - This is a complete sentence. The subject is "The scientific name for chocolate," and the predicate is "is Theobroma cacao."
4. "Loosely translated to 'the food of the gods.'" - This is not a complete sentence because it lacks a subject and a predicate. It is a phrase, rather than a complete thought. It is the beginning of a sentence, but it needs to be completed to form a full sentence.
So, the complete sentences in each group are:
- "The average American nearly twelve pounds of chocolate each year."
- "The scientific name for chocolate is Theobroma cacao."
