Which of the following groups of words is a sentence fragment?

Choice A

Explanation:

A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate (verb), and a complete thought (It has to make sense).

In Choice A, there is a subject (we) and a predicate (stopped) , but the sentence does not have a complete thought. (This is a dependent/subordinate clause)

Choice B has a predicate (stop), and there is an implied “you” in the beginning of the sentence. “(You) stop by the garden.”

Choice C is 2 complete sentences separated by a semicolon.

Choice D has a subject (we), a predicate (saw), and a phrase and a clause.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
