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.
A sentence fragment lacks a subject - verb relationship that makes a complete thought. "Marina, an excellent basketball player." is just a noun phrase with an appositive and has no verb, thus it's a fragment. The other options have a subject (Marina) and a verb (is, has, scored) and form complete thoughts.
