The Hound of the Baskervilles, written by Sir Arthur Conand Doyle and published for the first time in 1901, tells the story of the adventures lived by the characters, Dr. Watson and Mr. Holmes regarding the mysteries of a cane left in their office and the subsequent discovery of the mystery behind the curse of the Baskervilles. Throughout the novel, Sir Conan Doyle uses different techniques that allow the reader not only to feel the adventure and experience everything with Watson, who is mainly telling all the events to Homes, but also feel with him the mystery surrounding the events at Baskervilles. Although filled with dialogue and emotion and even prejudice at some points, one of the things that calls to attention about the techniques used in the novel is the use of short sentences, followed sometimes longer ones, that lead the reader to almost become a detective like Watson, and try to guess the answers to the many mysteries being uncovered. In this particular excerpt from chapter 8, Watson uses a combination of questions and statements, some long, others much longer, which leads the reader to follow Watson´s train of thought and question with him the events that have taken place and the recounts of events given by the other characters. Correct answer then is B.

Without any warning, the disease
sweeps across the country
like a traveling circus.
People who were once blue,
who slouched from carrying
a bag of misery over one shoulder
are now clinically cheerful.
Symptoms include kind gestures,
a bouncy stride, a smile
bigger than a slice of cantaloupe.
You pray that you will be infected,
hope a happy germ invades your body
and multiplies, spreading merriment
to all your major organs
like door-to-door Christmas carolers
until the virus finally reaches your heart:
that red house at the end of the block
where your deepest wishes reside,
where a dog howls behind a gate
every time that sorrow
pulls his hearse up the driveway.

B. The sentence is incomplete because it lacks a complete predicate.
A complete predicate basically is what tells you what the subject (pirate) does. When looking at this sentence, a great deal of it is nonessential/parenthetical. Specifically, all that information is serving as an adjective clause describing the pirate. Let’s look at the sentence, now, with the nonessential/parenthetical in bold:
The pirate who sailed his ship in the Atlantic Ocean pilfering from British naval ships and irritating the British navy
Thus, we are still left with the question, “What did the pirate do?”
B. The sentence is incomplete because it lacks a complete predicate.
