Answer:

As my father responded to his obvious cry for help with an, - F(Fragment)

"I don't have time for this right now ok just do whatever you want to do." - RO(Run-on)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence fragments are characterized as the group of words conveying incomplete sense. It is usually a part that is broken off from the complete sentence and therefore, lacks either a subject or a predicate. The first one exemplifies a fragment as it displays a broken part of a complex sentence and conveys an incomplete meaning.

The second one exemplifies a 'run-on' sentence as it links two independent clauses('I don't have time for this right now ok' and 'just do whatever you want to do') without employing an appropriate punctuation mark or conjunction to separate the meanings of the phrases or mark pause between them.
