3. Consider this passage from Brian’s Hunt:
A coyote, perhaps, brush wolf as they called them up north, or maybe a timber Wolf, two wolves, one begging from the other.
What is the sentence type here, and why?
Origon answer:
This is a simple sentence because it has only one independent clause. The subject is “they” and the verb is “called” in this sentence.
Revision:
This sentence is not a complete complex sentence because it doesn’t have any independent clause but it has a dependent clause, “as they called them up north.” The subject is “they” and the verb is “called.” “as” is a subordinator.

Your revised answer is right because it does not has any independent clause.So this is a fragment.
You are right on your revision. This is not a complete sentence; it is a fragment sentence that is form by two dependent clauses. ^-^
