Answer

A sentence conveys a complete thought and includes both a subject and a verb. In contrast, a sentence fragment does not convey a complete thought, and will normally not include either a subject or a verb.

"Bunches and bunches of chocolate and whip cream." is a sentence fragment because it does not convey a complete thought and it is missing a verb.

"Charlie's old plastic phone." is a sentence fragment because it does not convey a complete thought and it is missing a verb.

"Nick's bright red hair and dark freckles." is a sentence fragment because it does not convey a complete thought and it is missing a verb.

"Melissa ran to the store." is a complete sentence because it does convey a complete thought and includes a subject, "Melissa", and a verb, "ran".
