Example and Exception
Fragments
5 Correct example and exception fragments.
Fragments often occur when a writer decides to add an example or
note an exception. Example fragments often begin with such as,
including, like, for example, or for instance. Exception fragments often
begin with not, except, unless, without, or in spite of. To fix the
fragment, connect it to the sentence with which it logically belongs. If
the fragment begins with for example or for instance, it is often best to
make the fragment into an independent sentence.
