Question

which of the following is a sentence fragment? marina is a fast runner and a skilled basketball player. marina, an excellent basketball player. marina has very strong basketball skills. marina, a great basketball player, scored 26 points today.

Explanation:

A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence. The first three options are complete sentences with a subject (Marina) and a predicate that gives more information about Marina. The fourth option "Marina is a fast runner and a skilled basketball player." is a complete thought. However, the part "Marina is a fast runner and a skilled basketball player." by itself without a main - clause context can be considered a fragment if it is not part of a larger sentence structure. But among these, "Marina, a fast runner and a skilled basketball player." is the most clearly a sentence fragment as it lacks a verb to make it a complete sentence.

Answer:

Marina, a fast runner and a skilled basketball player.
