Answer:

The correct answer is "run-on sentence".

Step-by-step explanation:

Run-out sentence is a sentence-construction error that occurs when two or more than two independent sentences are not properly connected. In the example, the independent sentences "a phone rang in the concert hall" and "the orchestra stopped playing" were not properly connected, because no connector was used between them. Therefore, the question states an example of a run-out sentence.
