Answer

The answer is Complete Sentences.

Explanation
Option 1: Complete Sentences

Both sentences provided are complete sentences. A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate, and it must express a complete thought.

  1. "Captain Marvel set up the volleyball net in the backyard." - This sentence has a subject ("Captain Marvel") and a predicate ("set up the volleyball net in the backyard"), and it expresses a complete thought.

  2. "Her friend, meanwhile, divided everyone into two teams." - This sentence also has a subject ("Her friend") and a predicate ("divided everyone into two teams"), and it expresses a complete thought.

Option 2: Fragment

A fragment is an incomplete sentence that lacks either a subject, a predicate, or does not express a complete thought. Neither of the sentences provided is a fragment, as both meet the criteria for complete sentences.
