Answer:
A. 17,100
Explanation:
The half life of carbon-14 is around 5,700 years. When the shell contains 50% of its original carbon-14, 5,700 years have passed. 25% means another 5,700 years have passed, meaning 11,400 years in total have passed. 12.5% means another 5,700 years have passed, meaning 17,100 years have passed in total.
Answer:
The correct answer is "run-on sentence".
Explanation:
Run-out sentence is a sentence-construction error that occurs when two or more than two independent sentences are not properly connected. In the example, the independent sentences "a phone rang in the concert hall" and "the orchestra stopped playing" were not properly connected, because no connector was used between them. Therefore, the question states an example of a run-out sentence.
