Explanation:

A sentence conveys a complete thought and includes both a subject and a verb. In contrast, a sentence fragment does not convey a complete thought, and will normally not include either a subject or a verb. 

"Running fast, fast, fast." is a sentence fragment because it does not convey a complete thought and it is missing a subject. 

"Blowing in the wind." is a sentence fragment because it does not convey a complete thought and it is missing a subject.

"Joe's freezing cold coffee." is a sentence fragment because it does not convey a complete thought and it is missing a verb.

"Eric ran up the mountain." is a complete sentence because it does convey a complete thought and includes a subject, "Eric", and a verb, "ran".

Example Question #3 : Map 7th Grade Language Arts

Laura's teacher wants Laura to use more personification in her writing. Select the answer that would accomplish this by replacing the underlined portion of the sentences provided. 

While Hannah was playing outside, snow began to fall from the sky. As she lifted her head up towards the clouds, a snowflake lightly landed on the tip of her nose. 

Possible Answers:

kissed 

fell on

hit

land

Correct answer:

kissed 

Explanation:

Writers use personification to give human characteristics to inanimate or non-living objects. 

In this case, we are looking for a word to replace "landed"; however, the new word needs to possess human characteristics or attributes (i.e. something that a human would do, that an object can't do). In this sentence, the best answer is "kissed." 

While Hannah was playing outside, it began to snow. As she lifted her head up towards the clouds, a snowflake lightly kissed on the tip of her nose.
