No, those answers are not correct. Let's go through each pair of sentences to determine which one does not contain any sentence fragments:
1:
A: "Helen took the fish out of the oven. Cooked perfectly." - This is a sentence fragment because the second sentence does not have a subject.
B: "Helen took the fish out of the oven. It was cooked perfectly." - This is a complete sentence because both sentences have a subject and a verb.
C: "Taking the fish out of the oven. Helen cooked it perfectly." - This is a sentence fragment because the first sentence does not have a subject.
D: "While taking the fish out of the oven. It was cooked perfectly." - This is a sentence fragment because both sentences do not have clear subject and verb.
So the correct answer for this question is B.
