Answer:
C. Comma splice
Explanation:
The sentence contains a comma splice. Two independent clauses are joined together by a comma.
You can fix a comma splice by adding a coordinating conjunction to the sentence: <em>"Your imagination is running away with you, </em><em><u>for</u></em><em> there are no squirrels in the attic." </em>
Another way to fix a comma splice is by changing the comma into a period, semicolon, or even an exclamation point!

Explanation:
The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses established in the United States during the early to mid-19th century, and used by enslaved African-Americans to escape into free states and Canada. The scheme was assisted by abolitionists and others sympathetic to the cause of the escapees. Not literally a railroad, the workers (both black and white, free and enslaved) who secretly aided the fugitives are also collectively referred to as the "Underground Railroad". Various other routes led to Mexico, where slavery had been abolished, or overseas. An earlier escape route running south toward Florida, then a Spanish possession (except 1763–83), existed from the late 17th century until Florida became a United States territory in 1821. One of the main reasons Florida was purchased by the United States was to end its function as a safe haven for escaped slaves.However, the network now generally known as the Underground Railroad was formed in the late 1700s. It ran north and grew steadily until the Civil War began.One estimate suggests that by 1850, 100,000 slaves had escaped via the "Railroad". British North America (present-day Canada) was a desirable destination, as its long border gave many points of access, it was further from slave catchers, and beyond the reach of the United States' Fugitive Slave Acts. Most former slaves, reaching Canada by boat across Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, settled in Ontario. More than 30,000 people were said to have escaped there via the network during its 20-year peak period, although U.S. Census figures account for only 6,000. Numerous fugitives' stories are documented in the 1872 book The Underground Railroad Records by William Still, an abolitionist who then headed the Philadelphia Vigilance Committee.
Incomplete question. The full question read;
Identify the sentence type for each sentence.
- We visited the shelter where many animals are waiting for homes.
- We petted the cats, and they purred while the dogs barked in the other room.
- The dogs wanted to play, and we took them to a dog park.
- We spent an hour at the park, which was packed, and then we left.
<u>Explanation:</u>
1. <u>COMPLEX SENTENCE.</u> Note, a complex sentence is one that has an independent clause and may also have one or more dependent clauses. From the sentence,
- the part that contains the Independent clause is: <em>we visited the shelter. </em>
- the part that contains the dependent clause: <em>where many animals are waiting for homes.</em>
Note also that, a dependent clause is a clause that cannot stand on its own; since it does <u>not </u>express a complete thought.
2. <u>COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE:</u> Note, a compound-complex sentence is one that usually <u>has at least 2</u> independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. Because the sentences are usually longer, conjunction, comma, or semi colon is are used to link up the independent and dependent clauses together.
3. COMPOUND SENTENCE. This sentence, although not a compound-complex, but <u>only a compound sentence.</u> A conjunction "and" is used to link the clauses together.
4. <u>COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE:</u> We note the following;
- the part that contains the Independent clause is: <em>We spent an hour at the park.
</em>
- the part that contains the dependent clause is: <em>Which was packed, and then we left.
</em>
- the part that contains the conjunction is:<em> "and"</em>
