Is the following sentence a fragment, a run-on, or a correct sentence. as the gigantic, ferocious dragon approached. a. fragment b. run-on c. correct

‘As the gigantic, ferocious monster approached’ is a fragment of a sentence.

Option A  

Explanation:  

When a group of words are arranged to make a complete sense is known as sentence. There have to be a subject to predicate and at least one independent clause. The given line does not make complete sense. It does not have an independent clause. So it is not a sentence.  

When a sentence consists two or more independent clauses but the clauses are either joined by a proper conjunction or separated by punctuation mark is commonly called as Run-on sentence. The given line has no independent clause so it is not a run-on sentence.  

A fragment is a part of a sentence. It is incomplete in construction. The given line too is incomplete hence it is a fragment.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
