Which group of words is a sentence fragment?
A.
The table was booked.
B.
Cleaning the room.
C.
We shook hands.
D.
He prayed.
E.
He took the puppy home.

Answer:

B. Cleaning the room.

Explanation:

This is a sentence fragment because it doesn't have a subject (nor a verb).

It has a part of a verb (cleaning) that needs a passive verb such as "am" or "was" (am cleaning or was cleaning).

Just for practice, let's eliminate the other choices.

A. has both a subject (the table) and a verb (was)

C. has both a subject (we) and a verb (shook)

D. has both a subject (he) and a verb (prayed)

E. has both a subject (he) and a verb (took)

Read this excerpt from chapter 1 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and answer the question.

You don’t know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain’t no matter. That book was made by Mr. Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary. Aunt Polly—Tom’s Aunt Polly, she is—and Mary, and the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book, which is mostly a true book, with some stretchers, as I said before.

Which of the following most accurately describes the impact the author creates by directly addressing the reader as a first person narrator?

A)The sincerity of the narrator is highlighted which forewarns the reader that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn will offer a similar but less shallow characterization of Huck Finn than its predecessor.

B)The narrator creates uncertainty by calling into question the integrity of the main character while making clear that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is intended as a comedy.

C)The narrator addresses concerns readers may have about the author’s notoriety as a truth-stretcher in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn which suggests that the character of Huck Finn is semi-autobiographical.

D)The limited education of the narrator is made clear with the use of a distinct dialect while encouraging fans of the previous novel to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Memories of a Memory

Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Read the excerpt from Flannery O'Connor's "The Life You Save May Be Your Own."
The daughter could not see far in front of her and continued to play with her fingers. Although the old woman
lived in this desolate spot with only her daughter and she had never seen Mr. Shiftlet before, she could tell,
even from a distance, that he was a tramp and no one to be afraid of. His left coat sleeve was folded up to
show there was only half an arm in it and his gaunt figure listed slightly to the side as if the breeze were
pushing him. He had on a black town suit and a brown felt hat that was turned up in the front and down in the
back and he carried a tin tool box by a handle. He came on, at an amble, up her road, his face turned toward
the sun which appeared to be balancing itself on the peak of a small mountain.
What technique does O'Connor use in the paragraph to create compelling characters?
detailed descriptions
vivid dialogue
multiple settings
believable motivations
