Serhud [2]3 years ago

Answer:

The run on sentence here is, "Sprained ankles are common injuries for athletes, a sprain may not even need treatment."

Explanation:

A run-on sentence happens when two or more independent clauses are fused incorrectly. There are two types of run-on sentences. There are fused sentences and comma splices.

A fused sentence transpires when independent clauses work collectively with no signs of punctuation or correlating conjunctions to distribute them. A comma splice befalls when two or more independent clauses are linked exclusively by a comma.

When talking about, "Sprained ankles are common injuries for athletes, a sprain may not even need treatment." The part that is wrong here is the comma before "a." This is wrong because this is a massive voice missue.

The comma would mean to take a pause, which is a missue in human beings voice.

To correct this you would put a period for a full stop in that sentence and continue with the subject afterwords.

"Sprained ankles are common injuries for athletes. A sprain may not even need treatment.

You subsitute the comma with a period and make the lowercase an uppercase A.

How are clause and brought alike
Rina8888 [55]
Words clause and brought have similar spelling: clause is spelled 'klawz', and brought is spelled 'brawt'. So, both are spelled with 'aw'. On the other hand, their meaning is different. Also, clause is a noun while brought is a verb. A clause is a syntactic construction that forms part of a sentence or is a whole simple sentence. Brought is simple past tense and past participle of 'bring'.

Read this excerpt about activist Dolores Huerta.
netineya [11]

Answer: B

Explanation:

: The correct answer is: By connecting readers to her students.

Explanation: The excerpt mentions that her students were children of farm workers and came to school barefoot and hungry. She wanted to do more than just be a teacher so she quit her teaching job in order to help the parents of her students fight for better working conditions. We can connect with her students by understanding that her students were very poor children and seeing this, Dolores Huerta preferred to help them improve their living conditions by helping their parents obtain more rights than continue being a teacher. She was moved by her students and devoted to this cause.
