In some parts of Canada's Northwest Territory, the only way to transport supplies is over frozen lakes ,which, for ice road truckers, is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
To correct the run-on sentence, you can use one of the following methods:
1. Separate into two sentences:
"In some parts of Canada's Northwest Territory, the only way to transport supplies is over frozen lakes. Being an ice road trucker is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world."
2. Use a coordinating conjunction:
"In some parts of Canada's Northwest Territory, the only way to transport supplies is over frozen lakes, and being an ice road trucker is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world."
3. Use a semicolon:
"In some parts of Canada's Northwest Territory, the only way to transport supplies is over frozen lakes; being an ice road trucker is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world."
To correctly identify and fix a run-on sentence, it is important to understand the concept of a run-on sentence. A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined together without proper punctuation or conjunctions. In this case, the sentence can be split into two independent clauses: "In some parts of Canada's Northwest Territory, the only way to transport supplies is over frozen lakes" and "Being an ice road trucker is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world." These two ideas can be expressed as separate sentences or connected using appropriate punctuation or conjunctions.
