Question

Identify the subject containing a sentence fragment

a. wanting to impress gloria, ron brought out a bottle of champagne.
b. wanting to impress gloria. ron brought out a bottle of champagne.
c. he wanted to impress gloria, so rom brought out a bottle of champagne.
d. he wanted to impress gloria. ron brought a bottle of champagne.

Answer 1

It is b. The part "wanting to impress Gloria" is a fragment because it does not contain an independent clause--therefore it cannot stand as a sentence.

Answer 2

I think it's B. Hope this helps!
