Which of the following is an example of a well-structured sentence?

  1. With an apple and a smile

  2. Went to the store for candy

  3. She wanted to buy some candy

  4. For her to purchase candy

The correct answer is: She wanted to buy some candy

A well-structured sentence is a complete thought that follows grammatical rules, typically starting with a capital letter and ending with appropriate punctuation. Option A does not have a verb, making it a sentence fragment. Option B is missing a subject, making it incomplete. Option D is a sentence fragment, lacking a main clause. Option C, however, has a subject (she) and a verb (wanted). It also has a clear and complete thought - she wanted to buy some candy - making it a well-structured sentence.
