Question

Rewrite the following example to eliminate the sentence error. Jose and Marta volunteered at the local food bank, they now want to organize a canned food drive to increase the bank's food supply.

Answer 1

Jose and Marta volunteered at a local food bank; they wanted to organize a canned food drive to increase the bank's food supply.

Answer 2

to increase its food supply

Answer 3

That sentence is a run-on sentence. You need to conjoin it using a semi-colon or "and", "but" or "or". Here, "and" would probably be the best option out of the 3 conjoining words. So the sentence would now be "Jose and Marta volunteered at the local food bank and now they want to organize a canned food drive to increase the bank's food supply." You could also write it in two separate sentences to not make it as long. "Jose and Marta volunteered at the local food bank. Now they want to organize a canned food drive to increase the bank's food supply."
