In the case of "Holding her books, her purse, and two packages" the action or verb is "holding" the complement is "her books, her purse, and two packages" but the subject is missing, thus, even when we know the person doing the action is a woman we do not exactly know who she is and her name or the pronoun she is not mention. Due to this, as the subject is missing, this is a Phrase Fragment.
