In the original passage, there is a run-on sentence. A run-on sentence is when two or more independent clauses (sentences that can stand alone) are joined together without appropriate punctuation or conjunctions.
The run-on sentence in the original passage is: "The room was quiet enough for her to slip into a sound sleep usually their was a constant commotion, her roommates coming and going or someone on the phone speaking loudy as if the one on the other end of the line was deaf."
To correct this run-on sentence, you can divide it into two separate sentences. Here's the corrected version:
1. The room was quiet enough for her to slip into a sound sleep.
2. Usually, there was a constant commotion - her roommates coming and going, or someone on the phone speaking loudly as if the one on the other end of the line was deaf.
By dividing the information into two sentences, you ensure clarity and readability.
