Question

Fix the following fragment:

“From relatives who claim it to be pointless, educators who believe it’s inessential and the school boards who say that it’s a waste of time and money.”

Answer 1

Answer:

Relatives claim it is pointless, educators believe it is inessential, and school boards say it is a waste of time and money.

Explanation:

There are several ways to fix this fragment, depending on the context, but the important thing to keep in mind when fixing a fragment is that the sentence must have at least one independent clause.

In the fragment above, there is no one single clause that would make sense by itself or that could possibly stand alone as anything but a smaller sentence fragment.
