Answer
First Question (Why are sentence fragments often confusing for readers?):
Brief Explanations:
A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence, lacking a subject, verb, or a complete thought. Option "They mention unrelated topics" is incorrect as sentence fragments are about incompleteness, not topic relevance. "They place words in the wrong order" refers to faulty syntax or word order errors (like run - ons or misordered sentences), not fragments. "They include too many ideas or details" is the opposite of what a fragment is (fragments have too little). A fragment doesn't provide enough information to form a complete thought, so "They don't provide enough information" is correct.
Answer:
B. They don't provide enough information (where B is the option with "They don't provide enough information")
Second Question (What should you do if you really like your classmate's story and don't know what changes to suggest?):
Brief Explanations:
Saying you have no suggestions is unhelpful. Forcing a change (thinking of some kind of change just to have something to say) might not be constructive. Suggesting adding more details is a good approach but when you like the story, explaining how to change plot, setting, or characters can be a more in - depth and positive way to offer feedback. If you like the story, you can build on its existing elements by suggesting changes to plot, setting, or characters in a way that enhances it, rather than just adding details. So "Explain how the writer could change the story's plot, setting, or characters" is the best option.
Answer:
D. Explain how the writer could change the story's plot, setting, or characters (where D is the option with "Explain how the writer could change the story's plot, setting, or characters")
