Can someone help me with identifying sentence fragments and run-ons in complex construction such as followings:
1)Some critics of the Olympian Party candidate Zeus Pater are pleased that he has chosen Artemis Rhodes, the prefect of Alexandria, to be his running mate; as many commentators have pointed out, her views on social issues are more in line with the Olympian Party platform than are Pater's.
2)Developed by Pennsylvania's Palatine Germans about 1750,Conestoga wagons, with high wheels capable of crossing rutted roads, muddy flats, and the nonroads of the prairie, and had a floor that was curved upward at both ends to prevnt cargo from shifting on steep grades.
The second statement is a fragment however the first is not. In such Complex constructions like ABCD,*text*,EFGH sometimes the text represent sentences that will have no subject and begin with verb(ABCD,results to gamma waves,EDFC) and sometimes text won't have a verb like sentence 2 and be okay while in sentence one no verb is there and yet it is perfectly fine
Thank you in advance

Hi Deeptanshu02, not sure if I understand you correctly, but no sentence would be fine without a verb. In the first sentence, there are three verbs actually:
i) are in the clause before semicolon
ii) have pointed and are in the clauses after semicolon.

Why is the second one a fragment? I believ "had" works as a verb in second
