Answer 1

The run-on sentence is option b, which improperly connects two independent clauses without appropriate punctuation or conjunction. It could be corrected with a period or a semicolon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Identifying the run-on sentence from the given options requires an understanding of what constitutes a run-on sentence. A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses are connected improperly, that is without proper punctuation or conjunctions. In this particular question, the run-on sentence is:

Option b: Chanel prefers to take her tea with no sugar Alissa seems to drink more sugar and milk than tea.

This sentence lacks proper punctuation between the two independent clauses. A run-on sentence can often be corrected by adding a period, a semicolon, or a conjunction with a comma. Here's how we might correct it:

Chanel prefers to take her tea with no sugar. Alissa seems to drink more sugar and milk than tea.orChanel prefers to take her tea with no sugar; Alissa seems to drink more sugar and milk than tea.
