Which sentences are punctuated correctly?

English
1 answer:
ycow [4]4 years ago
7 0

The sentences that are correctly punctuated are Sentences B, C, and D.

Sentence A is not correctly punctuated as it is a run-on sentence.  Contrary to what the name “run-on sentence” implies, a run-on sentence is not a sentence that runs on with lots of words.  It, for instance, is entirely possible for a grammatically correct sentence to have, even, over a hundred words as long as it is properly punctuated.  In fact, a run-on sentence is a sentence this simply missing punctuation.  For a sentence to be considered a run-on sentence the appropriate punctuation will be missing between two complete thoughts.  That said, Sentence A has two complete thoughts, and they are as follows:

<em>Some workers train dogs to become service dogs for people who need assistance </em>

<em> others workers accompany the mobile spay and neuter project for inner-city pet owners </em>

There are three ways to correct a run-on sentence.  

1) You could use a period between the two complete thoughts:

<em>Some workers train dogs to become service dogs for people who need assistance</em><em>.  </em><em>Other workers accompany the mobile spay and neuter project for inner-city pet owners. </em>

2) You could use a semicolon between the two complete thoughts:

<em>Some workers train dogs to become service dogs for people who need assistance</em><em>; </em><em>other workers accompany the mobile spay and neuter project for inner-city pet owners. </em>

3) You could use a comma/conjunction between the two complete thoughts:

<em>Some workers train dogs to become service dogs for people who need assistance</em><em>, and </em><em>other workers accompany the mobile spay and neuter project for inner-city pet owners. </em>

Which sentence uses coordinated syntax? A) Tim and Ricky were friends because they always like to hang out and fix cars together
agasfer [191]

The sentence which uses coordinated syntax is B) Tim and Ricky like to race cars, go to baseball games, and cook hamburgers on the grill.

Coordinated syntax means that two equal sentences are joined together with one of the following conjunctions: <em>and, or, but</em>. The two sentences joined must be equal, which means that they must both be independent and able to stand on their own. For example, in B the sentences "<em>Tim and Ricky like to race", "They go to baseball games" </em>and "<em>They cook hamburgers on the grill</em>" could stand on their own without depending on one another.

On the contrary, in A, the second sentence depends on the first one and so the syntax is not coordinated but subordinated. The same happens in D. In C, the two sentences are not joined and so we cannot talk about coordinated syntax.
