Answer: I would contend that the solution that does NOT correctly fix the following run-on sentence is the A) They were expensive combs, her heart had simply craved and yearned over them.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that "They were expensive combs her heart had simply craved and yearned over them" is an example of a fused sentence — two independent clauses run together without the proper separation (a coordinating conjunction or the appropriate punctuation mark). The solution presented in option A is actually another example of a run-on sentence, specifically a comma splice, since the two independent clauses have been joined just by a comma. However, the solutions B and C are correct, since a run-on sentence can be fixed by using a comma FOLLOWED BY a coordinating conjunction (B) or by separating the two clauses into sentences by means of a period (C).

The answer is C. That is not how you fix a run-on sentence

What is the BEST way to combine the information in the two sentences below?
natulia [17]

The answer is A. Mercedes threw Andrea, Mercedes' best friend, a surprise party last night.  This choice uses an appositive ("Andrea, Mercedes' best friend,") to combine the two sentences.  An appositive is a phrase separated from the rest of the sentence by commas that describes something (in this case Andrea).


Choices B and C are incorrect because the uses of the words "but" and "when" to combine the sentences do not make logical sense.  Choice D is incorrect because it uses a comma to combine the sentences without a conjunction, creating a run-on sentence.


Hope this helps!
