Which revisions describe how to correct this fused sentence? Check all that apply. Eliana heard the phone ring she ran to answer
garri49 [273]

Answer:

  • 2) Add a period after ring and capitalize the first letter of she.  
  • 3) Add a semicolon after ring.

Explanation:

The sentence described above is a compound sentence as it contains at least two independent clauses. The end of the first independent clause is ''ring'' so changes need to be made after this word to properly punctuate and join these independent clauses.

One way is to add a period after the ring but then also capitalize he first letter of she because the clauses are now separated. The other way is to add a semicolon after the ring.

Thirty-five of the Pilgrims were members of the extreme English Separatist Church, who came to America to escape the jurisdiction of the corrupt Church of England.

Ten years before, a group of Separatists fled to Holland in quest of religious freedom due to English persecution.

<h3>Why did the Pilgrims choose to leave Holland? What hardships did they face before deciding to travel to America?</h3>

The Pilgrims spent several years in Holland before setting foot in North America.

The group, led by William Brewster and John Robinson, went to Amsterdam in 1608 to avoid religious persecution for performing clandestine services not sanctioned by the Church of England.

<h3>What freedoms were the Puritans pursuing?</h3>

Theirs was a theocracy that ruled over every element of their life.  Religion and freedom of speech or the press were as strange to the Puritans as they were to the Church of England.

When other colonies arrived with other views, the Puritans drove them away.
