Question 1

Walking away was Depak's response to a ridiculous request from his boss.

This option is a complete sentence as it contains a subject ("Walking away") and a predicate ("was Depak's response to a ridiculous request from his boss"), forming a coherent thought.

A) Walking away was Depak's response to a ridiculous request from his boss.

This option is correct because it is a complete sentence that has a clear subject and verb, providing a complete idea. It effectively communicates a specific action and its context.

B) None of the apartments that we visited today with the realtor.

This option is incorrect because it is a sentence fragment. It lacks a main verb and does not express a complete thought, leaving the reader hanging without a conclusion.

C) Going to the store dressed in a Halloween costume with a full face of make-up.

This option is also incorrect as it is a sentence fragment. While it provides a subject, it does not contain a verb or complete thought, failing to convey a complete idea.

D) Marked-down prices on all items at the garage sale.

This option is incorrect because it is another sentence fragment. It presents a noun phrase but lacks a verb, therefore not forming a complete sentence.

Conclusion

The correct answer, option A, stands out as a complete sentence because it conveys a full thought with both a subject and a predicate. In contrast, the other options are incomplete sentences that fail to provide a clear message, demonstrating the importance of having both components to form a coherent statement.
