Explanation:

Although in informal conversations we can express ourselves in every possible way we want, sometimes it can come to being misunderstood. Or our thoughts said out loud can not make sense without context linked to it. In grammar such expression we call sentence fragment.

Sentence consists of three things: a subject, a verb and a complete thought.

When we lack some of these things, then we have not a regular sentence, but a sentence fragment.

For example: Because of you.

It seems like a regular sentence by its looks, but we miss the main components. What story stands behind because of you? We do not know.

Regarding all said above, sentence 4 lacks verb and complete thought, so it is a fragment.

answer: b. grete might have remained as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the story.

one of the most interesting characteristics of gregor's metamorphosis is that, although he is the only character who has physically changed, it is this same change which triggered a transformation in the rest of his family.

by taking care of gregor, grete has become stronger and more confident. she has found a life outside of the house, and has become more independent and self-sufficient. the novel implies that the trigger for the change is gregor's own transformation, and that without it, grete was likely to remain as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the book.
