Which of these fragments requires only a predicate in order to be written as a complete sentence?

which includes a mountain range
the state of Virginia
can be divided into different geographical regions
by the Atlantic Ocean

I think its the lst one?

I mean't last one

Neither the first nor last is right. Which one is just a subject?

The second one?

Lets do another example:
Which fragment could you correct by adding only a complete predicate?

Lions and other members of the cat family
Reachable by jeep or helicopter
Occurs on the African Savannah
Roar to warn predators

Would it be lions and other members of the cat family because its just a subject?

Yes. The state of Virginia needs a predicate.

Yes. Lions and . . . needs a predicate.

Thanks!:)

You're welcome.

To determine which of these fragments requires only a predicate to be written as a complete sentence, we need to understand what a complete sentence consists of. A complete sentence typically requires both a subject and a predicate.

A subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about, and it usually performs the action. A predicate, on the other hand, is the part of the sentence that includes the verb and provides information about the subject.

Let's examine each fragment:
1. "Which includes a mountain range" - This fragment does not provide a subject. It is a dependent clause, and without a subject, it cannot be a complete sentence.
2. "The state of Virginia" - This fragment also lacks a predicate. It functions as a noun phrase or a topic, but it does not provide any action or information about the state of Virginia.
3. "Can be divided into different geographical regions" - This fragment does include a subject ("it") and a predicate ("can be divided into different geographical regions"). Therefore, it can be written as a complete sentence.
4. "By the Atlantic Ocean" - Similar to the first fragment, this fragment is a prepositional phrase, not a complete sentence, since it does not contain a subject or a predicate.

Thus, your intuition is correct. The third fragment, "Can be divided into different geographical regions," requires only a predicate to be written as a complete sentence.
