The fragment in the given responses is "If he passes the written test and the road test."
To identify the fragment in the given responses, we need to understand that a fragment is an incomplete sentence that does not express a complete thought. It is missing either a subject or a predicate.
Let's analyze each response:
1. "Fred gets his driving permit today." - This is a complete sentence since it has a subject "Fred" and a predicate "gets his driving permit today."
2. "His older brother will give him driving lessons." - This is also a complete sentence as it has a subject "His older brother" and a predicate "will give him driving lessons."
3. "Next year, he can get his regular license." - Again, this is a complete sentence with a subject "he," and a predicate "can get his regular license."
4. "If he passes the written test and the road test." - This is a fragment since it starts with a dependent clause ("If he passes") and does not have an independent clause (a complete thought).
Therefore, the fragment in the given responses is: "If he passes the written test and the road test."
