Which of the following is an example of a run-on sentence? (5 points) Baseball is an amazing sport to play and to watch. Nothing beats the thrill of the sport on the diamond. I hope you like watching baseball, I really love it. If you don't watch it, you don't know what you're missing.

Answer:

B. I hope you like watching baseball, I really love it.

Step-by-step explanation:

A run-on sentence is a sentence consisting of two or more independent clauses (groups of words expressing a complete thought) not joined with a period, semicolon or conjunction, but that instead are connected improperly with a comma or no punctuation at all.

Sentence B is an example of this type of sentence error because both independent clauses (I hope you like watching baseball and I really love it) are incorrectly joined with a comma when they should be separated by a period or a semicolon.
