Question

Which one is a run-on sentence? A. If the bus will take the baseball team to the field, they can all go together. B. When Mark was severely cut by the broken glass, he lost so much blood that he had to be taken to the hospital. C. The earthquake caused the thirty-story building to fall. D. It is a disgrace when people refuse to practice pollution control, air pollution continues to worsen.

Answer 1

D is a run on sentence. There is a comma splice, which means that the writer used a comma to join sentences where there should not be a comma. To make D a correct sentence, it would be best to put a period where the comma is.

It is a disgrace when people refuse to practice pollution control. Air pollution continues to worsen.

Hope that helps!
