To determine the correct choice, we need to identify if the given sentence is a run-on or a fragment.
A run-on sentence is a sentence that improperly joins two or more independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunctions.
A fragment, on the other hand, is an incomplete sentence lacking a subject, verb, or complete thought.
Let's analyze the given sentence: "Seeing pulsation of the artery at the completion of this dissection."
This sentence appears to be a fragment as it lacks a subject and verb. It starts with the present participle "Seeing," which is not a complete clause on its own.
Therefore, the correct choice is option 3: "This is a fragment that can be fixed by adding a subject and verb after this long introductory element." Adding a subject and verb after "Seeing" would make the sentence grammatically complete.
