Anyone have time to help me with a 10 question quiz on grammar and vocabulary?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can help explain anything you don't understand ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are run on sentences for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The definition or the purpose? Run on sentences should NOT be use in grammar, ever. However, authors can use them in their writing to smoothen their writing and create flow. Definition: Run on sentences are formed when compound sentences are formed improperly without correct punctuations or conjunctions. In this case, you need to fix the run on sentences so that they are proper sentences.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following is an example of a run-on sentence? The dog is in serious need of a bath. He stinks every time he goes outside. Please help me wash him, he’s dirty. I’ll get the soap, and you get the tub.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is C, it should be a semi-colon instead of a comma

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks can you answer a couple more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of course.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An independent clause can make sense on its own be a fragment serve as a comma splice be a run-on sentence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A would be correct, an independent clause contains both subject and predicate so it can be on its own, depedent clause miss one of those two.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
