4. patrick was deathly afraid of green, leafy vegetables such as arugula."
a. is the passage a sentence or a fragment?
b. explain why or why not.

This is a sentence.

Explanation:

There are many differences that indicate if something is whether a sentence or a fragment.

For example, fragments don't contain a finished thought, on the other hand, sentences do. Fragments don't contain a subject, while a sentence must have one. The same is with verbs and fragments, they may contain a verb, and a sentence always contains it.

Fragments don't have independent clauses and sentence always have them, at least one.

We came to conclusion that this is a sentence because the thought is finished and we can see that someone is something ( Patrick is afraid ) and we also know WHY he was afraid of something. In this sentence, we have a visible independent clause.

It is not a fragment

Explanation:

This sentence is not a fragmented one because it is complete and in it, we can see both that Patrick was afraid and because of what he was afraid. Fragment sentences are not complete and they usually have subordinators such as after, before, if, since, when, why, until and they are forming dependent clause. In this sentence, we can see an independent clause.

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.
