It was my error not to include an imperative sentence that was not also emphatic. But that's not the point, which is:

Do you now understand that a complete sentence requires but one word?

Even adjectives and adverbs can be single-word sentences:

"Good."
"Awful."
"Fine."
"Worried."
"Proud."

A sentence is complete when there is a subject and a verb in an independent clause. That subject and verb may be stated ("When you won, how did you feel?" "I felt proud.") or implied ("Proud.").
