Which sentence in the passage is a sentence fragment?
1. sentence 2
O 2
sentence 3
O 3
sentence 4
4. sentence 5

The sentence in the passage that is a sentence fragment is sentence 4.

Explanation:

We can define fragment as a group of words that initially looks like a sentence but that lacks something essential in order to make sense. A fragment can lack, for instance, the subject, or even the predicate.

That is the case with sentence 4: "A dedicated environmentalist himself." What about him? There is no verb, no predicate, nothing. This fragment could become a subject if we added a proper predicate after it. Or, maybe, it is supposed to be an absolute phrase - a phrase that modifies the sentence that follows. But, the way it is now, sentence 4 makes no sense.

A possibility would be replacing the period with a comma and connecting sentences 4 and 5. Notice how that makes more sense:

- A dedicated environmentalist himself, Marco wrote a proposal.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.
