Answer:
this is a run- on sentence

Right.

To determine whether a given sentence is a run-on sentence, you need to understand what a run-on sentence is and how to identify it. A run-on sentence occurs when two or more main clauses are joined together without proper punctuation or conjunctions. In this case, let's break down the given sentence and see if it fits the criteria.

"Wide undermining was done at the subgaleal level on all sides of the excision the wound was brought together using 4-0 Vicryl sutures."

This sentence contains two main clauses: "Wide undermining was done at the subgaleal level on all sides of the excision" and "the wound was brought together using 4-0 Vicryl sutures." However, there is no proper punctuation or conjunction between them. Therefore, the sentence is a run-on sentence.

To correct this run-on sentence, you can either separate the two clauses into two separate sentences or use proper punctuation and conjunctions to join them. Here are two possible ways to correct the run-on sentence:

1. "Wide undermining was done at the subgaleal level on all sides of the excision. The wound was brought together using 4-0 Vicryl sutures."
2. "Wide undermining was done at the subgaleal level on all sides of the excision, and the wound was brought together using 4-0 Vicryl sutures."

In the corrected versions, the two clauses are separated into two sentences or joined using appropriate punctuation (a period or a comma and a conjunction).
