Your answers are not correct for all three sentences.

Let's go through each sentence one by one to determine the correct answer:

1. One legend has it that an old lady tried to dry off her sopping wet dog by putting it in the microwave; this legend also predates the microwave oven.

This sentence is a comma splice because it attempts to connect two independent clauses with only a comma. The correct answer is C. comma splice.

2. A couple renting a hotel room complained bitterly to management about a horrible smell; they found the stench had been coming from a corpse under the bed.

This sentence is a correct compound sentence because it properly connects two independent clauses with a semicolon. The correct answer is D. correct sentence.

3. Clarissa carefully studied all her notes and worked on additional problems; she took her test online.

This sentence is a correct compound sentence because it properly connects two independent clauses with a semicolon. The correct answer is D. correct sentence.

Based on your answers, it seems like you have identified the correct answer for the second and third sentences. However, the correct answer for the first sentence is C. comma splice, rather than B. run-on.

Please note that the original sentences contain errors in punctuation and run-on sentences.
