In order to identify whether any of the selections contains a fragment, we need to understand what a fragment is. A fragment is an incomplete sentence that cannot stand on its own because it lacks a subject, a verb, or both.
Now, let's examine each of the selections to determine if any of them contain fragments:
1. To prepare for the 10K race. - This is a fragment because it lacks a subject and a verb. It is an introductory phrase or clause that does not form a complete sentence.
2. Eric eliminated greasy foods from his diet and began eating fresh fruits and vegetables. - This is a complete sentence because it has a subject (Eric) and a verb (eliminated, began).
3. He also began getting at least eight hours of sleep every night. - This is also a complete sentence because it has a subject (He) and a verb (began, getting).
Based on this analysis, only the first selection "To prepare for the 10K race." contains a fragment.
