A fragment is a group of words standing alone, which seems separated off a bigger clause, and that normally begins with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark as if it was a full sentence, however, in reality, it is not a sentence since it does not express a complete thought.

Clauses fragments are fragments containing a subject and a verb, and appositive fragments, they are fragments without a subject or a verb and that renames or identifies a noun right beside it.

1. Which of the following is a clause fragment?

B: Because we forgot to sign the petition on time

This is a clause fragment because it begins with a capital letter, contains a subject (we) and a verb (forgot), and does not express a complete thought. One way to fix it is to put a comma after the clause and add a main clause. For example: Because we forgot to sign the petition on time, we were not taken into account.

2.  Which of the following contains an appositive fragment?

A: There's Jack. The most talented pianist I know.

“The most talented pianist I know.” is an appositive fragment because it begins with a capital letter, ends with a period and it is a phrase placed right beside a noun (Jack), which, at the same time, it renames and describes.
