Question by LAUREN ?: Are these real sentences or fragments?
All of which you would be by not finishing school

One-third of all high school students fail to graduate

That’s what life really is; a game.

You either win or you lose

You win by staying in school and lose by, of course, dropping out.

This may sound dumb but I am just making sure they arent fragments

Best answer:

Answer by Precise Edit
It’s good that you asked. One of these IS a fragment, and 3 others are incorrect grammatically.

1. “All of which you would be by not finishing school”
This one is the fragment. The way you have it here, starting with “all of which” means that it is a description of something else. It has no subject or predicate. You will need to combine this with a complete sentence. For example, you might write “Drop-outs are poor, prone to drug and alcohol abuse, and unlikely to get career advancements, all of which you would be by not finishing school.”

Question by : Premises and Conclusion?
many mental health practitioners are promoting the notion that alcohol abuse, drug abuse, over-eating, gambling, anorexia, bulimia and smoking are diseases. By using the disease model, its proponents believe that people are more apt to seek help because having an “illness” is more acceptable than having psychological or behavior disorder.

Best answer:

Answer by David Gallagher
If it is the true opinion of “its proponents [that] having an “illness” is more acceptable than having psychological or behavior disorder,” then there is no problem with this paragraph. It’s proponents have an opinion, and opinions are neither right nor wrong, except where you can argue against it. The purpose of this paragraph is not to argue, but to state the opinion of “the many mental health practitioners.”

The premises and the conclusion of those people are neither right, nor wrong, in the context of a simple explanation of their opinion.

Question by : What is an “accidental overdose of prescription drugs”?
With all the autopsy reports that are published following celebrity deaths none has ever been released for comedian Greg Giraldo. Granted he was not very famous, having done just a few celebrity roasts on Cmedy Central. Nevertheless he was a sort of celebrity. When he died in September, 2010 in New Jersey, the media stated he died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. It was mentioned again and again that it was NOT a suicide attempt. Since Giraldo was discovered unconscipous and died five days later, never regaining consciousness, it seems like it could have been an attempt to hide a sucide to save embarrassment or other reasons.

Question by Charles Wallace: Cases of malpractice involving alcohol?
Hi everyone. I am writing an issue paper for college that talks about the consequences of drugs and alcohol in the workplace. Can anyone think of any cases where drugs or alcohol was used in the medical field and consequences arose from it?
Also, can you think of any instances where drugs or alcohol has been given to students by teachers?
I can think of a few, but I would like to use more. Perhaps you know of times where this has occured in your communities.

Any input is appreciated.
