Question

is there a sentence fragment? on november 18, 1903, the hay - bunau - varilla treaty was signed. which gave the united states possession of the panama canal zone. yes no submit

Explanation:

A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence. The second part "Which gave the United States possession of the Panama Canal Zone" starts with "Which" and is a dependent clause (a relative clause here) that can't stand alone as a complete sentence. It relies on the previous independent clause but on its own, it lacks a main subject - verb structure to be a full sentence. So there is a sentence fragment.

Answer:

yes
