Question

is the highlighted portion of the sentence a complete or incomplete thought? violet baudelaire will host a barbecue this weekend unless it rains. complete thought incomplete thought

Explanation:

A complete thought (independent clause) can stand alone as a sentence, having a subject and a predicate. The highlighted portion "unless it rains" is a subordinate (dependent) clause. It starts with the subordinating conjunction "unless" and cannot stand alone as a complete sentence (it depends on the main clause for meaning), so it's an incomplete thought.

Answer:

Incomplete Thought
