Question 26

I walked all three dogs around the park this morning.

This option is a complete sentence as it contains a subject ("I") and a predicate ("walked all three dogs around the park this morning"), expressing a complete thought.

A) I walked all three dogs around the park this morning.

This is a complete sentence because it includes a subject ("I") and a verb ("walked"), along with a direct object and additional details, conveying a full idea.

B) Walking with a limp as a result of the thorn.

This option is not a complete sentence. It lacks a subject and a verb that form a complete thought, making it a fragment instead.

C) When I was young and loved going for runs in the park.

This choice is also a fragment and not a complete sentence. Although it starts with a dependent clause ("When I was young"), it does not express a complete thought.

D) Running through the park before breakfast.

This option is not a complete sentence as it lacks a subject and a verb. It merely describes an action but does not provide a complete idea.

Conclusion

Option A is definitively the correct answer as it fulfills the requirements of a complete sentence, containing both a subject and a predicate that convey a full thought. In contrast, the other options are fragments that fail to provide complete information, demonstrating their inability to function as complete sentences.
