1. Which of the following is a COMPLETE SENTENCE? (1 point)
O Known as the Land of the Midnight Sun.
O Three quarters of the distance from the equator to the North Pole.
• In the summer, the sun never sets.
O In the Arctic, twenty-four hour winter nights.
To determine which of the following is a complete sentence, we need to identify the option that contains a subject and a predicate, expressing a complete thought. A subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about, and a predicate is the verb or verb phrase that tells something about the subject.
Let's analyze each option:
1. Known as the Land of the Midnight Sun. - This is a phrase. It lacks a subject and a complete predicate, so it is not a complete sentence.
2. Three quarters of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. - This is also a phrase. It provides information but does not have a subject and predicate, so it is not a complete sentence.
3. In the summer, the sun never sets. - This option has a subject (the sun) and a complete predicate (never sets). It expresses a complete thought, so it is a complete sentence.
4. In the Arctic, twenty-four-hour winter nights. - Similar to the first two options, this is also a phrase. It lacks a subject and a complete predicate, so it is not a complete sentence.
Therefore, the answer is: "In the summer, the sun never sets."
