To identify the fragment in the given text, we need to understand that a fragment is an incomplete sentence that doesn't express a complete thought or idea. It is important to note that a fragment usually lacks a subject, a verb, or both.
Looking at the responses given, we can analyze each one to see if it is a complete sentence or a fragment:
1) "My parents are very strict." - This is a complete sentence because it contains a subject ("My parents") and a verb ("are").
2) "They gave me a 10:00 p.m. curfew." - This is also a complete sentence because it contains a subject ("They") and a verb ("gave").
3) "Even on weekends, holidays, and vacations." - This is a fragment because it lacks a subject or a verb. It is just a dependent clause modifying the previous complete sentence.
4) "However, they make exceptions for special occasions." - This is a complete sentence because it contains a subject ("they") and a verb ("make").
Therefore, the fragment in the given text is: "Even on weekends, holidays, and vacations."
