Answer 8

That doesn't answer my question. Lots of things make sense to lots of people. That doesn't make a fragment into a sentence.

It might make sense in conversational language, but as a chunk by itself, it makes no sense at all.

Since the had traveled often ... WHAT? Why is there a lead in with no conclusion?
