A fragment is an incomplete sentence or a group of words that does not express a complete thought. It is missing either a subject, a verb, or both. To identify the fragment in the given text, we can look for the group of words that does not form a complete sentence.
In this case, the fragment is:
"If he passes the written test and the road test."
This is a fragment because it starts with a dependent clause ("If he passes the written test and the road test") but does not have an independent clause to complete the sentence. To fix this fragment, we can combine it with the previous sentence to form a complete sentence, such as:
"He can get his regular license next year if he passes the written test and the road test."
