which of the following group of words is not a clause fragment?

a. because the yard is so small.

b. while you were gone.

c. which do you like?

d. since everyone had already left.

Answer:

Out of the following group of words the one that is NOT a clause fragment is - Which do you like? So, the correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

A clause fragment is referred to a part of a sentence that stands incomplete. They are called fragments as they have got disconnected from the main clause. Here, out of all the options “which do you like” is the only sentence that comes with a complete meaning as it is not disconnected from the main clause. It is the main clause itself. Whereas, the others are incomplete without the main clause so they are called fragments.

the question concerns exactly this part of the speech:

i am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. property can be paid for; the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be.

president wilson talks about the lives of people destroyed by german army. but these people are not americans, they are the local people living in europe. the president mentions the barbarity of germans, considering that he is not targeting the nation, instead it is said about german army. the correct answer is the last one.
