B
so #2 will be-compound? or complex...
aare you sure about #4?..because the first choice doesn't sound right.
The first choice in # 4 may not "sound" right to you -- but it is, nevertheless, correct.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's break down the sentences to determine the correct answers:
2. "After the blizzard, many travelers were stranded at the airport, and they had to stay at nearby hotels to get some rest and make alternate travel plans in the morning."
This sentence consists of two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "and." Since it has two independent clauses, it is a compound sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is b) this is a compound sentence.
4. "We could study at my house, we could to go the library."
This sentence is a run-on sentence because it combines two separate thoughts without proper punctuation. To fix this run-on sentence, we have several options:
a) We could replace the comma with a semicolon to make a complete sentence: "We could study at my house; we could go to the library."
b) We could add the word "or" after the comma to make a complete sentence: "We could study at my house, or we could go to the library."
c) We could replace the comma with a period and capitalize the "W" in "we" to make two complete sentences: "We could study at my house. We could go to the library."
Therefore, the correct answer would be d) all of the above are suggestions to fix the run-on.
