Explanation:

In grammar, a fragment occurs if a set of words lack either a subject or verb or do not express a complete idea; due to this, the construction is called a "fragment" rather than a complete sentence. In the case of the words "Across the street" the main reason this structure is a fragment is that it lacks both a subject and a verb as they only include words that can complement an idea. For example, by adding "I (subject) walked (verb) across the street" you can make this fragment a sentence. According to this, the correct explanation for why this is a fragment is "It is missing a subject and a verb".
