6. Fourth, the invitations should be sent.
The structure of the paragraph is organized as a numbered list that the host must do in order to have a great party.

Also, the only thing left out to planning the party is inviting the guests.
12. C. I thought about what he'd said soon I realized he was right.
There are two independent clauses in this sentence: "I though about what he'd said" and "soon I realized he was right." These two indpendent clauses must be separated with a period or joined together with a semicolon or a comma and a conjunction.

15. The game will be called if the storm continues, the weather is dangerous.
This sentence is a runon because it has two independent clauses "The game will be called" and "the weather is dangerous". There is a dependent clause as well: "if the storm continues". The two independent clauses are only separated with a comma. This is not enough. There should be a conjunction as well as a comma or a semicolon.
