Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. When William Lee reached Goll's drugstore, he was gasping for air and frantic. In a breat

hless voice, Lee demanded the key to the alarm box that was mounted on the outside of the store. Bruno Goll refused to hand it over, insisting that a fire truck had already passed. Lee had no time to argue with Goll. He was too concerned about the safety of his family, so he hurried back to them almost immediately. He got there just in time to see the fire taking hold of his neighbor's shed and fence, while the breeze blew a rain fire on his property. Two things were very clear to Lee: first, despite what Goll had said, no fire engines had arrived, and, second, his house was about to catch fire. Why was William Lee frantic and breathless when he first arrived at Goll’s drugstore?
A. He was angry at the owner for refusing to sound the alarm and for lying about the fire engines.
B. He was confused about who had informed the firefighters of the fire and why there were trucks driving by.
C. He knew there was a fire burning near his home, and he wanted to sound the alarm as quickly as possible.
D. He knew that the fire would be massive and firefighters would not be able to control the flames.

Which choice avoids run-on sentences to present the information clearly and correctly?
Zielflug [23.3K]
The choice that avoids run-on sentences to present the information clearly and correctly is, "Levi wanted to save the endangered sparrows. He built a birdhouse, and he passed out flyers. He also hung signs to tell people to keep their cats inside." To avoid run-on sentences, the writer limited the use of conjunctions to avoid confusion and instead, divided it into three sentences.

Describe a festival celebrated in your community
Fantom [35]
Bueno ya ves, yo soy de Nuevo México entonces I like to celebrate Cinco de Mayo cuál era originally on May 5, 1862 the victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Since I’m from the US I intercept it as a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage. Generally how we celebrate it in the states is: parades, parties, mariachi music, folk dancing, and traditional foods such as tacos and mole poblano, and can’t forget pozole.
