Answer: What do you mean ?
Explanation:
Answer: The correct answer is B. He's dating Maria, and I dated her last year. Sentence fragments are groups of words that look like sentences, but aren't, they cannot stand alone.

Answer:
It is either A or C. But I do not know which one it is.

I am sorry if I am wrong.
