Explanation:
Lennie Small is huge and lumbering and, in many ways, the opposite of George Milton. Where George has sharp features and definite lines, Lennie is "shapeless." Often he is described in terms of animals. He lumbers like a bear and has the strength of a bear, but his actions are often described like those of a dog.
Answer:
The sentence "He quit smoking five years ago; he still craves a cigarette from time to time" is written correctly.
Explanation:
In the structure we are analyzing here, we have two independent clauses that were correctly put together with proper punctuation. It's worth remembering that an independent clause is a group of words that can stay alone as a sentence. It offers information that makes sense without the help of another sentence.
A run-on sentence only happens when independent clauses are joined incorrectly. If put together without any sort of punctuation, we have a fused sentence. When we join them only with a comma, we have a comma splice. One way to prevent these mistakes from happening is to join the clauses with a semicolon, and that is precisely what we have in the structure given. It is safe to conclude, thus, that "He quit smoking five years ago; he still craves a cigarette from time to time" is correct.
Answer:
As my father responded to his obvious cry for help with an, - F(Fragment)
"I don't have time for this right now ok just do whatever you want to do." - RO(Run-on)
Explanation:
Sentence fragments are characterized as the group of words conveying incomplete sense. It is usually a part that is broken off from the complete sentence and therefore, lacks either a subject or a predicate. The first one exemplifies a fragment as it displays a broken part of a complex sentence and conveys an incomplete meaning.
The second one exemplifies a 'run-on' sentence as it links two independent clauses('I don't have time for this right now ok' and 'just do whatever you want to do') without employing an appropriate punctuation mark or conjunction to separate the meanings of the phrases or mark pause between them.
