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.
