Review (Correcting Sentence Fragments)
A complete sentence has a subject that tells who or what the sentence is
about.
It also has a predicate that tells what the subject did or what the subject is
like.
A sentence fragment lacks a subject or a predicate.

Complete Sentence: The blast of an eruption topples trees and buildings.
