Both answers are right.
I think you are right, a fragment is a incomplete sentence ..
To determine which of the given options is a fragment, you need to understand what a fragment is. A fragment is a group of words that is not a complete sentence because it lacks a subject, a predicate, or both.
For the first question, let's analyze each option:
a. "Because we had tickets." - This is a dependent clause, so it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It is a fragment.
b. "Running past first base." - This is a phrase, not a complete sentence. It is a fragment.
c. "Athletes understanding the purpose of practice." - This is a phrase, not a complete sentence. It is a fragment.
d. "All of the above." - This option is not a sentence or a fragment. It is a statement referring to the previous options.
Therefore, the correct answer is d. All of the above.
For the second question, let's analyze each option:
a. "Here are the answers to the math questions." - This is a complete sentence with a subject ("Here") and a predicate ("are").
b. "There seems to be a problem with the answer." - This is a complete sentence with a subject ("There") and a predicate ("seems to be").
c. "What a day!" - This is an exclamation, not a complete sentence. It is a fragment.
d. "Study those problems and work out the answers." - This is a complete sentence with a subject ("you," implied) and a compound predicate ("study" and "work out").
Therefore, the correct answer is c. "What a day!"
