The correct answer is D. Although Ted went to work, Bob went home.
Option B is a complete sentence because it includes both a subject (Ted) and a verb (went). A fragment is an incomplete sentence that does not express a complete thought. In option D, "Although Ted went to work" is a dependent clause and does not express a complete thought on its own. Therefore, it is an example of a fragment.
You are correct, option B is an example of a fragment. To identify a fragment, we need to look for incomplete sentences that are missing either a subject or a verb, or both.
In option B, "Although Ted went to work and Bob went home" is a dependent clause, as it begins with the subordinating conjunction "although." This clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it lacks an independent clause to provide a complete thought. Therefore, option B is a fragment.
Option A, "When Ted went to work, Bob went home," is a complete sentence because it has both a subject ("Bob") and a verb ("went").
Option C, "Bob went to work although Ted went to work," is also a complete sentence as it has both a subject ("Bob") and a verb ("went").
Option D, "Although Ted went to work, Bob went home," is a complete sentence as it contains both a subject ("Bob") and a verb ("went").
Therefore, the only example of a fragment among the given options is B) Although Ted went to work and Bob went home.
