5. Winning an important race.

Explanation

The given answer is "No it is not a sentence" because the phrase "Winning an important race" is not a complete sentence. It lacks a subject and a verb, which are necessary components for a sentence. A complete sentence would require additional information such as who or what is winning the race.

Explanation

The given statement "Loves her friends no matter what" is not a complete sentence because it lacks a subject. A complete sentence should have a subject (the one performing the action) and a predicate (the action or state of being). In this case, the subject is missing, making it an incomplete statement rather than a sentence.

Submit

10. Anthony’s favorite funny television show.

Explanation

The given answer is correct because the phrase "Anthony's favorite funny television show" is not a complete sentence. It lacks a subject and a verb, making it a sentence fragment. A complete sentence should have a subject that performs the action and a verb that expresses that action. In this case, the phrase only provides a noun phrase without a verb, so it cannot stand alone as a sentence.

Submit
11. Looking like he’d seen a ghost!

Explanation

Explanation

The given answer is correct because the phrase "Cookies that taste better than mud" lacks a subject and a verb, which are essential components of a complete sentence. It is a sentence fragment rather than a complete sentence.

Submit
13. Putting things back in the proper drawers.

Explanation

The given answer is correct because the phrase "Putting things back in the proper drawers" is not a complete sentence. It lacks a subject and a verb, making it a sentence fragment. It is a participial phrase that functions more like a verb phrase rather than a complete sentence. To make it a sentence, it would need to include a subject and a verb, such as "I am putting things back in the proper drawers."
