Incomplete- either tell what he did because he was fonder, or change sentence to read:

He became fonder of taking vacations and going on long weekends after his wife's death.

C. Fragment

Orange, let's get the poster to do his/her own homework. We can't give them the answers, but we can help.

What do you personally think the answer is and I will tell you if you are right.

OK, sorry

Finale answer c

Okay, but why did you pick c. Good choice, but why did you make that choice?

More than one sentence

Well, it is a fragment because you don't finish your thought.

You could say, and I will bold what I add so that you see it is a fragment:

Having become fonder of taking vacations and going on long weekends after the death of his wife, Mr. Smith has vacationed on 3 different continents since his wife passed.

Nope that's still not right as the sentence above is still not complete even if you change it to this.
