Explanation

The paragraph contains sentence fragments: “Salvador Dalí, born Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí y Domenech” has no complete predicate, and “In Figueras, Spain in 1904” is also incomplete. “An Austrian neurologist who created psychoanalysis” is a fragment because it does not form a complete sentence on its own. Combining these fragments with nearby sentences would improve the paragraph’s sentence fluency, so the best choice is “Correct the sentence fragments.”
