Question 1: My camera is old. I'll be glad to get a new one. (S)
To identify whether the item is a sentence or a run-on sentence, we need to check if there are two independent clauses (complete thoughts) separated by a punctuation mark. In this case, there are two complete thoughts separated by a period, making it two separate sentences.
Question 2: Flamingos are usually pink. One variety is bright red. (S)
In this case, there are two separate sentences that each express a complete thought.
Question 3: The coach shouted instructions, and the players responded immediately. (S)
Again, there are two separate sentences here, each expressing a complete thought.
Question 4: I heard the weather report. It is going to rain. (S)
These are two separate sentences conveying complete thoughts.
Question 5: I enjoyed reading the book; it was funny yet informative. (S)
Once again, two complete thoughts are expressed as separate sentences.
Question 6: Wayne had climbed the tree, but he couldn't get down. (Points: 1) (but)
The conjunction "but" is the best choice for fixing the run-on sentence because it shows the contrasting relationship between Wayne climbing the tree and not being able to get down.
Question 7: Easy Street is being repaired, so we went a different way. (Points: 1) (so)
The conjunction "so" is the best choice here because it explains the reason for choosing a different way due to the repair work on Easy Street.
Question 8: Is Laura going to the party, or is she staying home? (Points: 1) (or)
The conjunction "or" is the best choice here because it provides the option between Laura attending the party or staying home.
Question 9: The car skidded; luckily, no one was near it. (Points: 1) (The car skidded, but luckily no one was near it.)
The sentence "The car skidded, but luckily no one was near it." is not a correct way to fix the run-on sentence. The correct fix is to separate the two complete thoughts with a period or use a coordinating conjunction like "but" to connect them.
Question 10: That was quite a traffic jam; many drivers were honking their horns, and one car was blocking the intersection. (Points: 1) (That was quite a traffic jam; many drivers were honking their horns, and one car was blocking the intersection.)
The sentence "That was quite a traffic jam; many drivers were honking their horns, and one car was blocking the intersection." is a correct way to fix the run-on sentence. The semicolon helps separate the two related thoughts, and the coordinating conjunction "and" connects the last two parts of the sentence.
