Snowshoe Hare Trail Signs: Fixing Fragments and Run-Ons

Help a ranger turn her sign notes into complete sentences.

Complete, fragment or run-on?

Ranger Ada is writing signs about snowshoe hares for a forest trail. Some of her notes are not complete sentences yet.

Complete sentence: has a subject and a verb and tells a whole thought.
Fragment: is missing a subject, a verb or the rest of the thought.
Run-on: joins two sentences with no end mark between them, or with only a comma.

Sort Ada's notes.
