15 is a fragment. There is no subject.

One of these is a fragment. And that's #15. "Rotating back and forth aimlessly." Do you see how that sentence doesn't have a subject? We have no idea WHAT is "rotating back and forth aimlessly." The others, #16 and #17, both have a subject and a verb. They're all sentences
