Answer

The answer is "does not contain a fragment."

Explanation

The statement "Long before she started skating, Kelly was a talented downhill skier." is a complete sentence. It contains both a dependent clause ("Long before she started skating") and an independent clause ("Kelly was a talented downhill skier"). The independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, which means the statement does not contain a fragment.
