Question

All the following are examples of ways to fix a run-on sentence except for what?

•Use a coordinating conjunction to separate the two parts.
•Separate the sentence into two smaller complete sentences.
•Use a semicolon to separate the two parts.
•Use a comma and a coordinating conjunction.

Answer 1

The following does not include using a coordinating conjunction to separate the two parts in a sentence. The correct answer is option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Where two or more independent clauses are not properly joined using any conjunction or punctuation it is known as a Run-on. The two types of run-on are comma splices and fused sentences. By separating the sentence in two smaller complete sentences and by using a semicolon, a comma and a coordinating conjunction between independent clauses the sentence becomes grammatically correct. For example, I love to sing; I sing everyday, I love to dance, I dance everyday, I love to sing and I sing everyday, etc.
