Its when you dont add commas , periods etc..

example --- the kid went out and play with his friends and he also forgot to come home on time he got in trouble and he cant do anything.

there is many commas missing that is a run on.

A run-on sentence is a sentence consisting of two or more independent clauses (group of words expressing a complete thought) that is not joined properly with a period, semicolon or joined by a conjunction (like and, but, or) and that, instead, is connected improperly with a comma or without any type of punctuation.

Examples of run-on sentences:

<em>The game will be called off if the storm continues</em><em>, </em><em>the weather is dangerous. </em>

<em>My mother slept in my bother's bed</em><u><em> </em></u><em>he slept on the couch.</em>

Read the following excerpt from Henry David Thoreaus resistance to civil government all machines have their friction witch state
MrRa [10]

Answer:

D. He uses metaphor to portray the government as something driven by greed and evil.

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer.

Looking at the excerpt, we see that Thoreau actually uses metaphor. He likens the government as a machine. As all machines have their friction, there is need for some good in order to counterbalance the evil. The author sees that when the friction comes is likened to when oppression and robbery are set in and organized.

Metaphor is actually a figure speech that is used to compare two things. It is done without the use of "as" and "like".

Irritable or short tempered
Airida [17]

Answer:

Well, irritable means you are like grumpy. Short tempered means you get made easily always, like a short fuse! It depends on what and why you need it. The less "harsh" term is irritable. The more harsh term is short tempered.

Explanation:

To put it in a better view, when you are grumpy, or irritable, when you are hungry or sleepy, you get mad or frustrated quickly. But, when you are short tempered, you have trouble keeping your anger down. This is when you have a "short fuse"  they like to say. Now these may look similar, but they are much different. The only common thing is you get angry, or upset real easy. The causes are much different. However, you can prevent one, irritable, by getting the right sleep, and eating a balanced meals! Sometimes you need practice or a counselor most of the time when dealing with a short temper . Not always though, friends could also help, along with family!
