Answer:
<em>There are many “Tom Smiths” in the Manhattan phone book.</em>
Explanation:
Although using plural for proper nouns may seem strange since it's not common in everyday speech, there is an established set of rules that deals with it. When we talk about two-word personal proper nouns, the most important rules are as follows:
- only the second word is used to make plural form
- in most cases adding "s" is the correct way
- if proper nouns end with "s" or "z" then we need to add "es" to make proper plural form (one Patty Mills, three Patty Millses)
So, with this in mind, the correct answer would be adding "s" on the second word (Tom Smiths)

Although Nwoye enjoys hearing his mother tell the tale, Okonkwo's dislike for it is evidence of his imbalance.[135] Later, Nwoye avoids beatings from his father by pretending to dislike such "women's stories".[</span>

The sentence is independent- not a fragment- because it contains a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought. It can be a noun (e.g. “Harry”) or a pronoun (e.g. “He”), singular or plural, and the verb can be past, present, or future tense.
But even though the sentence has a noun (or pronoun) and a verb (adjective or adverb), it must also express a complete thought. Saying “I am” meets the first criteria, but not also the second. Hope that helps!
