EXPLANATION The person who wrote the sentence above broke it into fragments. Such fragmentation often happens if people write the way in which we sometimes speak; that is, in phrase groupings. Fragmentation also often occurs when people do not know how to punctuate correctly. When writing formally, such fragmentation should be avoided.
Rewrite each of these groups of fragments as one sentence.
