3.Most people eat cereal, it’s healthy.
4. When they eat it, they use milk.

Answer 1

Run-on sentences are made when two sentences are put together without correct punctuation. Although, #1 is kind of redundant it's not a run-on sentence. #2 complete sentence. #3 Two sentences that could have been separated by other means instead of a comma. #4 Correct punctuation. When you have a subordinate clause, you use a comma.

With that being said, which do you think is a run-on sentences?

Answer 2

3. Most people eat cereal, it's healthy is an example of a run-on sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Run-on sentences occur when two or more independent clauses are not connected properly. A common type of run-on sentence is the one resulting from a comma splice, where the author failed to use a transitional expression and used just a comma to join two independent clauses -a clause that contains a subject and a predicate and can stand alone as a sentence. This is the case of sentence 3.
