Which is the best way to ensure a sentence is complete?

  1. Use a linking device

  2. Avoid run-on sentences

  3. End with a period

  4. Begin with a capital letter

The correct answer is: End with a period

Adding a period at the end of a sentence is the best way to ensure that a sentence is complete. Periods indicate the end of a sentence, marking a complete thought. Option A, using a linking device, can make a sentence more cohesive and connected, but it does not necessarily guarantee that the sentence is complete. Option B, avoiding run-on sentences, is important for sentence structure, but it does not ensure completeness. Option D, beginning with a capital letter, is a basic rule of grammar, but it does not determine the completeness of a sentence.
