Explanation:

Saying "to learn Portuguese" isolatedly sounds intelligible, but also vague, since it lacks other basic elements found in a sentence, such as a clear subject and a predicate. In "Zoe decided to move to Portugal after graduating from college. To learn Portuguese", punctuation makes the last part a fragment. If we drop the period after "from college", "to learn Portuguese" becomes a part of the first sentence and is no longer a fragment, as in:
