Question

Which are fragments (dependent clause fragments, relative clause fragments, or -ing fragments)? Whose dirty socks were left on the kitchen floor?
Jane wants to rent a movie that is funny and romantic.
Who was in the library yesterday afternoon at 3:00 PM.
Talking loudly during a movie or concert

Answer 1

Let's analyze each sentence to identify the types of fragments present:

1. **Whose dirty socks were left on the kitchen floor?**
- This sentence is not a fragment; it is a complete question.

2. **Jane wants to rent a movie that is funny and romantic.**
- This is also not a fragment; it is a complete statement with a main clause.

3. **Who was in the library yesterday afternoon at 3:00 PM.**
- This sentence appears to be a fragment because it lacks proper punctuation at the end (it should end with a question mark as it poses a question), but grammatically, it is a complete interrogative sentence.

4. **Talking loudly during a movie or concert**
- This is a fragment; it is an -ing fragment. It lacks a main clause to complete the thought.

In summary:
- **Fragments:** "Talking loudly during a movie or concert."
- **Not fragments:** "Whose dirty socks were left on the kitchen floor?" and "Jane wants to rent a movie that is funny and romantic."
- "Who was in the library yesterday afternoon at 3:00 PM" is a complete question but needs proper punctuation.
