Answer/Explanation:

“Gaining traction”, as used in the quoted statement of William A. Darity Jr., means <em>becoming more popular as well as being supported widely.</em>  

In his statement regarding the arguments that support the restitution of ill treatment and injustice towards black Americans, most especially during the slave trade era, in an attempt to promote equity, he remarked that <em>this argument is beginning to “gain grounds” simply as a result of technology today</em>. Technology has helped in the push for reparation as information is very fast to disseminate today, people can easily check up histories and facts regarding slave trade, and thereby making more people far and wide to lend their support and voices.

Can you rewrite the run ons as two complete sentences
Ksenya-84 [330]
There are three ways to separate a run-on sentence: use a semicolon, use a comma and a conjunction, or put a period and capitalize the first letter in the next word. In this case, we have to do the final option, because we have to make two separate sentences; the other options will make a compound sentence.

1. Queen Elizabeth I knighted Raleigh, and he was appointed captain of the Queen's guard. He later set sail on an unsuccessful search of El Dorado, the legendary city of gold.

In this case, we put a period after 'guard' and capitalize the 'h' in 'he' because that is the point where the sentence can be separated into two complete sentences.

2. Queen Elizabeth liked Raleigh, however, her successor, King James I, did not. In 1603, he was accused of plotting against the king and sentenced to death, but only served 12 years.

We separate this sentence between 'not' and 'in' for the same reasons that we separated the first. That is the part of the sentence where it can be separated into two sentences that function on their own.

Hope this helps!
