are these complete sentences, or is one of them a fragment?\nthe delivery woman hid joyce byerss dinner.\nplacing it in the mailbox in front of the neighbors\nhouse.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
A complete sentence needs a subject and a predicate (a main verb). The first sentence "The delivery woman hid Joyce Byers's dinner" has a subject ("The delivery woman") and a predicate ("hid Joyce Byers's dinner"). The second "Placing it in the mailbox in front of the neighbor's house" starts with a participle ("Placing") and lacks a main verb and a clear subject to make it a complete sentence, so it is a fragment.
