C) God uses the rainbow as a sign of his promise never again to destroy all life on Earth.

Explanation:

In the Bible, man's wickedness made god so angry that He asked Noah to build an ark and save animals in pairs and also his family. The rest of mankind and life was wiped out from the face of the earth by the flood that lasted 40 days, bringing the earth to it's pre-creation condition. After the rains, God put a rainbow in the sky as a mark of his covenant with Noah, promising not to annihilate life from the earth ever again.

Which of the following is a run-on sentence?

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: C. I was surprised by how loud my new baby sister could cry I might have to get ear plugs.

Explanation: A run-on sentence is a sentence that conjoins thought with the usage of conjunctions and punctuation such as a comma or semi-colon. Choice C did not use any punctuation, besides a period (which doesn't matter in this case) and did not contain any conjunctions whatsoever.

Choice A is incorrect because the word "so" was used to bridge two thoughts. "So" is a conjunction. Also, a comma was used, so we know this isn't a run-on sentence.

Choice B is incorrect because the word "and" was used merge two thoughts. "And" is a conjunction.

Choice D is incorrect because a semi-colon was used to couple two thoughts into one sentence.

Thus, the answer is Choice C.
