The given sentence is a fragment because it does not express a complete thought. It starts with a dependent clause "Although he had been an often decorated soldier during World War II and had fought many battles for the losing cause of liberalism in Congress," but it does not have an independent clause to complete the idea. To make it a complete sentence, a comma should be placed after "Congress" and an independent clause should be added to finish the sentence.

65. This is going to be the most difficult exam of your college career, you had better start studying for it immediately.

The correct way to fix this run-on sentence is by replacing the comma after "immediately" with a semicolon, which effectively separates the two independent clauses.
