Question 6 • TX-English III A

Identify the sentence fragment?

Answer
A
Phyllis Wheatly was an African American poet in colonial America.
B
Phyllis Wheatly and other African American women writers in colonial America.

Explanation

Choice B is a fragment because “Phyllis Wheatly and other African American women writers in colonial America” is a noun phrase, not a complete sentence. It does not have a verb that tells what they did or were. Choice A has a subject and a verb, so it is a complete sentence.
