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 of the sentences you provided to identify which ones are fragments:

1. **Whose dirty socks were left on the kitchen floor**
- This is a **dependent clause fragment**. It does not express a complete thought because it lacks an independent clause.

2. **Jane wants to rent a movie that is funny and romantic.**
- This is a complete sentence. The clause "that is funny and romantic" is a **relative clause** that describes "a movie," but overall, the sentence stands alone.

3. **Who was in the library yesterday afternoon at 3:00 PM.**
- This is also a **fragment**. It is a dependent clause because it starts with "Who" and does not express a complete thought. It would need an independent clause to be complete.

4. **Talking loudly during a movie or concert**
- This is an **-ing fragment**. It does not form a complete sentence because it lacks a subject and a verb that expresses a complete thought.

In summary:
- Fragments: 1, 3, 4
- Complete sentence: 2
