Answer and explanation:

An independent clause is a group of words that can stay alone as a sentence, which means it offers information that makes sense without the help of another sentence.  <u>When independent clauses are joined incorrectly, we have what is called a run-on sentence.  And, when we join independent clauses without any sort of punctuation, we have a fused sentence. When we join them only with a comma, we have a comma splice.</u> All of the sentences presented in the question are fused with the exception of the comma splice in number 7 . Let's correct them with the options given:

: A period and a capital letter

: A comma and a coordinate conjunction  - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.

: A semicolon

: A a dependent word -- after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, in order to, since, though, unless, until, whatever, when, whenever, whether, and while.

Why do we continue to read ancient texts today?
mamaluj [8]

Reading and meditating on the accomplishments and mistakes of others in the past allows us to refine our own lives and attitudes. For example, Franklin Delano Roosevelt set a fine example for us never to give up on our goal even when faced with severe trials and roadblocks. There are even examples in the BIBLE that we can dwell on. Overall, history is important, and is the foundation we build our community, our country, and our world on.
