Identify the problem with sentence fragment below Although you thoroughly enjoyed play?

The problem with the sentence fragment "Although you thoroughly enjoyed play?" is that it lacks a complete thought.

Here's a breakdown:

* "Although" is a subordinating conjunction, which means it introduces a dependent clause that needs an independent clause to make a complete sentence.

* "you thoroughly enjoyed play" is a dependent clause because it doesn't express a complete thought on its own. It raises the question: "Enjoyed what?"

To fix the fragment, you need to add an independent clause that completes the thought. Here are a few possibilities:

* "Although you thoroughly enjoyed play, you knew it was time to go home."

* "Although you thoroughly enjoyed play, you were exhausted."

* "Although you thoroughly enjoyed play, the game was cancelled."
