Which part is a fragment?

Question 3 options:

A


B


C


none of them

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can test whether a sentence is a fragment by saying it aloud without any context and seeing if it makes sense.

Both A and B make sense outside of context, but in the case of C, it has the word "as". Because the word "as" is the first word in the sentence, you'd expect it to be a part of a sentence (even though it isn't)- making it a fragment.
