(present participial phrase) Because she exercises regularly. She is in good condition. (dependent/adverb clause fragment)

She saw a car accident." can be corrected like this: "Walking to the store, she saw a car accident."

9. b) To correct a fragment, remove words to make the fragment a complete sentence. "Because she exercises regularly. She is in excellent condition." can be corrected like this: "She exercises regularly. She is in excellent condition."

10. c) To correct a fragment, add words to make the fragment a complete sentence. "Because she exercises regularly. She is in excellent condition." can be corrected like this: "She feels great because she exercises regularly. She is in excellent condition."

15. What is social justice? Matthew Robinson, PhD, summarizes the words of John Rawls, an American philosopher. Dr. Robinson states: Social justice is about assuring the protection of equal access to liberties, rights, and opportunities, as well as taking care of the least advantaged members of society. Thus, whether something is just or unjust depends on whether it promotes or hinders equality of access to civil liberties, human rights, opportunities for healthy and fulfilling lives, as well as whether it allocates a fair share of benefits to the least advantaged members of society.

16. Although justice in our increasing globalized society has advanced greatly in the modern era, there are still many marginalized people both in and outside of the United States who struggle for fair treatment on a daily basis. Fortunately, there are talented, dedicated individuals who are using their talents and passions to help alleviate social injustices throughout the world. Whether it’s through providing women with access to education in Africa, creating biotechnology for the disabled, or helping immigrants learn how to adjust to life in a new country, people are finding innovative ways to help those in need.
