Explanation:
A sentence fragment is a group of phrases of a sentence but does not make or form a complete sentence. Sentence fragments, like the name, are just fragments of a sentence which may include dependent clauses and also have both subject and a verb in it. But they do not form or make a complete meaningful sentence.
