Question

Which revisions describe how to correct this fused sentence? Check all that apply. Eliana heard the phone ring she ran to answer it.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 2) Add a period after ring and capitalize the first letter of she.  

• 3) Add a semicolon after ring.

Explanation:

The sentence described above is a compound sentence as it contains at least two independent clauses. The end of the first independent clause is ''ring'' so changes need to be made after this word to properly punctuate and join these independent clauses.

One way is to add a period after the ring but then also capitalize he first letter of she because the clauses are now separated. The other way is to add a semicolon after the ring.
