Explanation:

1. Identify if each item is a complete sentence (has a subject and a predicate that expresses a complete thought). If not, rewrite it to make it complete.
2. "Waking up at 8 a.m. to watch cartoons" is a phrase, not a complete sentence. Add a subject ("I") and adjust the verb to form a complete sentence.
3. "Plays video games every night" lacks a subject. Add a subject (e.g., "He/She/I/They") to make it complete.
4. "The Beatles sang" is a complete sentence (subject: The Beatles; predicate: sang) that expresses a complete thought.
5. "The Declaration of Independence" is a noun phrase, not a complete sentence. Rewrite it to express a complete thought, like stating what it is or its purpose.
6. "On the last night, we said goodbye" is a complete sentence (subject: we; predicate: said goodbye) with a prepositional phrase setting the time, expressing a complete thought.
