This is a question quoted from Knewton:
To sail across the Atlantic ocean, a task that Desmond had wanted to complete since he was very young, a difficult trip to make.
Now i understand that this is a fragment:
Although i got this one right, i thought that the modifier was "a task that Desmond had wanted to complete since he was very young" because it is modifying the the act of sailing across the ocean?...please correct me if im wrong.. (Just wanted to understand whats the modifier, and whats the main subject)
Can we make the sentence complete by changing the sentence into: To sail across the Atlantic ocean, a task that Desmond had wanted to complete since he was very young, "was" a difficult trip to make.
Does this make sense?
