Step 3: For each of the sentences below, select the choice that corrects the fragment. If the original sentence is correct, select "no change."

		1. I suppose the housing coordinator took my passion for video games into consideration. To pair me up with my roommate.
		2. Marissa and I were delighted to discover that we shared this interest. Especially our liking for similar types of games.
		3. We also found that many other people on campus were gamers. When we got to know them.
		4. At one point, however, I began to sense a problem. Trying to get a good night's sleep before a big exam, I was too distracted by Marissa's game-playing.
		5. I asked her to please stop playing because I needed to get to sleep. And kept awake by the noise of her tapping the keyboard.
		6. Marissa said she understood. Even though she kept right on playing.
		7. Marissa wanted to help me out, and I knew what she needed. To come to a "save point" in the game.
		8. Marissa had allowed the game to assert priority over her consideration for her roommate. Permitting it to force her to keep playing until the game let her "save" the progress she had made.
		9. She played for two more hours before stopping. And then said "Sorry!" to me.
		10. Since then, of course, I've done the exact same thing to her. Except that I freely admitted that I'm a slave to the game.
		Step 4: Now that you have practiced correcting fragments, think of a specific video game or any other game you like (or don't like) and write a paragraph in the box below describing why you feel the way you do about it. Then, check your paragraph for fragments. It's hoped that you won't have any, but if you do, correct them using the techniques covered in Chapter 11.   To create paragraphs in your essay response, type <p> at the beginning of the paragraph, and </p> at the end.
