The old saying, “In like a lion, out like a lamb.”
Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year.
To determine which of these is a complete sentence, we need to identify if it has a subject and a predicate.
Let's analyze each option:
1. "Although the weather is sometimes warm in early March." - This is not a complete sentence because it is a dependent clause (starts with "Although") and does not have a subject and predicate that can stand alone as a complete thought.
2. "Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year." - This is a complete sentence. It has a subject ("Forecasters") and a predicate ("predicted six more weeks of winter this year") that can stand alone as a complete thought.
3. "The old saying, 'In like a lion, out like a lamb.'" - This is not a complete sentence because it is a noun phrase (a saying) and does not have a subject and predicate that can stand alone as a complete thought.
So, the correct answer is:
2. Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year.
The correct answer is:
Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year.
