Students should have to have a certain amount of community service hours to graduate. For one, it would help the community, of course. Second, the students would learn about helping the community. And it would make graduating a little bit more of a challenge, so not just anyone can graduate. If doing community service was mandatory to graduate many people would benefit.
Answer:
C. Add a period after fossil
Explanation:
The reader can easily deduce that this is a run-on sentence.
"Look at this fossil," Is a full stop on itself, and the thought can end there.
The next phrase can be continued in a separate sentence by itself.
Many people seem to be confused as to why the answer isn't B, and I'll gladly explain why!
The sentence goes, "Look at this fossil I bought it at the gift shop.."
"It," causes the sentence to become a run-on, and therefore isn't grammatically correct.
However, if the sentence said, "Look at this fossil I bought at the gift shop," then it would have no need to be changed, as it is a full sentence in itself with no run-on.
Another thing to note is that some of you may be thinking, "But (insert grammar checker) said it was fine by itself!"
I'm sorry to break it to you, <em>but a grammar checker doesn't have 100% guaranteed results. </em>Many grammar checkers do not possess the ability to catch run-on sentences and are not a credible source of information.
I hope this clears things up!
