Rocco Ruiz · Answer 1

it's A. This is because it adds where imala will be playing and that she is doing a solo.

Everett Hanna · Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Sentence

Explanation:

In grammar, a sentence differs from a fragment because sentences contain a subject (an agent that performs an action) and a predicate (verb and in most cases object or complement), additionally, a sentence always expresses a complete idea and does not need other elements which mean is independent. On the other hand, a fragment is just a section of a sentence that lacks one essential element and therefore is not complete. In the case of " Imala will play the solo in the concert" this expresses a complete thought, does not need other elements and also contains a subject (Imala), a verb (will play) and an object (the solo) along with other elements that complete the meaning (in the concent) and therefore this is a sentence rather than a fragment.
