Question

is the highlighted portion of the sentence a complete or incomplete thought?
because ms. krabappel is cooking, the food will be delicious.
complete thought
incomplete thought

Explanation:

A complete thought (independent clause) has a subject and verb, and can stand alone as a sentence. The highlighted portion "the food will be delicious" has a subject ("the food") and a predicate ("will be delicious"), and it expresses a full, standalone idea.

Answer:

Complete Thought
