Question

Which is a fused sentence? I love drawing because it exercises my imagination. Our pet poodle loves to sit on our laps and take long naps. Pablo took a music class that focused on playing the piano. Choosing a video game is hard there are so many for sale.

Answer 1

Answer: D) Choosing a video game is hard there are so many for sale.

Explanation: a fused sentence is a type of sentence in which two independent clauses are run together without an appropriate conjunction or mark of punctuation between them, such as a semicolon or a period. From the given options, the one that is an example of a fused sentence is the corresponding to option D, where we have two independent clauses joined without any punctuation between them: "Choosing a video game is hard" and "there are so many for sale."

Answer 2

"Choosing a video game is hard there are so many for sale" is a fused sentence because the two halves are talking about explicitly different things that still have some connection. It would be better to put "because" between "hard" and "there".
