Complete Sentence
I'm currently engaged in an argument about grammar and we're at a deadlock. I said that
"It's the image it invokes. A quiet lonely king clothed in black remaining sheltered within the walls of his grim palace on the sun-baked plains of Valladolid."
The argument is whether the second sentence constitutes a complete one. Is it? We can't agree on it.
