To determine whether each word group is a sentence or a clause fragment, we can look for the presence of a subject and a verb.
1- Ruminants are animals that chew their cud. (S) - This is a sentence because it contains a subject "Ruminants" and a verb "are chewing."
2- As soon as I heard about them. (F) - This is a clause fragment because it does not contain a subject and a verb. It is just a dependent clause without a complete thought.
3- Because I had never seen a moose up close. (F) - This is also a clause fragment because it only contains a dependent clause without a subject and a verb.
4- That the oryx has long, pointed horns that point upward. (F) - This is a clause fragment as it is a dependent clause without a subject and a verb.
5- Whoever drew the picture of the kudu’s long spiral horns. (F) - This is a clause fragment as it is a dependent clause without a subject and a verb.
6- I liked the chamois, whose soft skin is sometimes used as a "chamois cloth." (S) - This is a sentence because it contains a subject "I" and a verb "liked."
7- That I would never use a real leather chamois cloth again. (F) - This is a clause fragment as it is a dependent clause without a subject and a verb.
8- Until you know the difference between a bison and a musk ox. (F) - This is a clause fragment as it is a dependent clause without a subject and a verb.
