Answer:
I was reminded of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 a day or two ago while reading Ian Bogost on Apple’s Airpods. Bogost examined Airpods’ potential long term social consequences. “Human focus, already ambiguously cleft between world and screen,” he suggests, “will become split again, even when maintaining eye contact.” A little further on, he writes, “Everyone will exist in an ambiguous state between public engagement with a room or space and private retreat into devices or media.”

In the story "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan, Amy struggles with the idea of code-switching which loosely means using different forms and dialects of English language in different circumstances.
During her growing up years, Amy struggled with the concept of code switching. She feels that she is in two language zones - one is the simple, unclear and broken language of her mother and the other is the more sophisticated use of the language that she learns at school. At times, she is embarrassed of her mother's spoken English, when her friends cannot understand what she wants to convey to them. Amy does not realize that her mother is really proficient in reading the language as she could read many books in English. Her mother only lacks in speaking proficiency as English is not her native language.
Slowly, Amy starts realizing the merits of growing up in an immigrant family and starts appreciating the cultures and traditions of her two worlds.

Incomplete.
Explanation:
As per the question, the given sentence would be characterized as an 'incomplete' sentence as it is syntactically and semantically fragmented. It comprises of two subordinate clauses which fail to convey a coherent thought. Grammatically, a subordinate clause is accompanied by an independent clause to accomplish its meaning but here the sentence involves two subordinate clauses back to back which leaves the meaning unaccomplished.
In order to rectify the error, the second subordinate conjunction(i.e. 'before') could be removed to make the latter clause of the sentence independent and add a comma(,) after the subordinate clause so that they together(subordinate clause followed by the principal clause) convey a coherent thought(syntactically and semantically appropriate). It read as:
