The correct answer is:
(2) Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year.
To determine which option is a complete sentence, we need to understand what constitutes a complete sentence. A complete sentence consists of a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought.
Let's analyze the given options:
A) "Although the weather is sometimes warm in early March." - This option is a dependent clause, as it starts with the subordinating conjunction "Although" and does not express a complete thought. Therefore, it is not a complete sentence.
B) "Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year." - This option has both a subject ("Forecasters") and a predicate ("predicted six more weeks of winter this year"). It expresses a complete thought and is a complete sentence.
C) "The old saying, 'In like a lion, out like a lamb.'" - This option is a noun phrase and lacks a predicate. It also does not express a complete thought, so it is not a complete sentence.
Given that option B) "Forecasters predicted six more weeks of winter this year." is the only one that contains a subject, predicate, and expresses a complete thought, it is the correct answer.
