Answer 1

A. The entrees are wonderful the restaurant uses fresh ingredients.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fused sentences is a sentence that should be divided with a punctuation mark but it is not. These sentences are also known as run-on sentences, they include two independent clauses (subject + verb) without the correct punctuation mark. Fused sentences are a mistake, we should always punctuate sentences, especially when we have two independent clauses.

• The entrees are wonderful = 1st Clause (The entrees=subject/are=verb)
• the restaurant uses fresh ingredients. 2nd Clause (the restaurant = subject / uses= verb)

This is a run on/fused sentence, it contains two independent clauses without the needed punctuation marks. The correct version would be:

The entrees are wonderful, the restaurant uses fresh ingredients.
