Question

are these complete sentences, or is one of them a fragment? concerned, the clerk stared at marceline the vampire queens groceries. especially because he noticed that the cart only contained chocolate bars. complete sentences fragment

Explanation:

A complete sentence needs a subject and a predicate (a main verb and a complete thought). The first sentence "Concerned, the clerk stared at Marceline the Vampire Queen's groceries." has a subject ("the clerk") and a predicate ("stared at...groceries"). The second sentence "Especially because he noticed that the cart only contained chocolate bars." is a dependent clause (starts with "because") and doesn't express a complete thought on its own, so it's a fragment.

Answer:

Fragment
