Which sentences are punctuated correctly?

English
1 answer:
ycow [4]4 years ago

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 choice uses a semicolon correctly to join two independent clauses? My sister and I love to cook; we spend hours cooking to
ololo11 [35]
An independent clause is a sentence or part of one that can stand alone.

So I have a feeling that the first one is correct as "My sister and I love to cook" and "we spend hours cooking together" can both stand alone yet are joined by a semicolon.

I hope this has helped

Answer:

Explanation:

1. She had a very thin face like the dial of a small clock seen faintly in a dark room in the middle of a night when you waken to see the time and see the clock telling you the hour and the minute and the second, with a white silence and a glowing, all certainty and knowing what it has to tell of the night passing swiftly on toward further darknesses but moving also toward a new sun. Pg. 4

2. He glanced back at the wall. How like a mirror, too, her face. Pg. 4

3. His wife stretched on the bed, uncovered and cold, like a body displayed on the lid of a tomb, her eyes fixed to the ceiling by invisible threads of steel, immovable. Pg. 5
