Answer:

B. Cleaning the room.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a sentence fragment because it doesn't have a subject (nor a verb).

It has a part of a verb (cleaning) that needs a passive verb such as "am" or "was" (am cleaning or was cleaning).

Just for practice, let's eliminate the other choices.

A. has both a subject (the table) and a verb (was)

C. has both a subject (we) and a verb (shook)

D. has both a subject (he) and a verb (prayed)

E. has both a subject (he) and a verb (took)

Hope this helps!
