Which sentence is a complete sentence?

Which sentence is a complete sentence?

• A. Running swiftly through the park.
• B. Although the rain stopped.
• C. The team won the game last night.
• D. Because they studied all week.

Answer: (C)

Complete sentences express a full thought and have both a subject and a predicate, so they can stand alone and end with proper punctuation. The sentence "The team won the game last night" has a clear subject ("The team") and a verb ("won"), and it conveys a complete idea about what happened, so it can stand alone as its own sentence and ends with a period. The other options are not complete sentences: they’re fragments or dependent clauses that don’t express a full thought on their own.
