Answer 1

Answer 2

Is it more than one answer? Because both options A.) and B.) seem to be run-on

A.) uses the comma incorrectly.. i believe a semicolon would be more appropriate if you wanted to connect those two sentences

and

B.) needs commas between the adjectives~

Answer 3

@Briinndyy_69

Answer 4

@sammixboo so B ??

Answer 5

Actually I'd go with A.) if i were you cx

Answer 6

I would go with A more than B

Answer 7

Because choice B is not a run-on sentence actually.

Answer 8

Even though it DOES lack commas~

Answer 9

Because it is saying what is on the foot of a bed, then stating what exactly that thing is.

That comma is correctly placed :)

I see why you think it lacks commas Vae :P BUT worn yellow is a color. A worn out looking yellow color. If you placed a comma between those two words it wouldn't make much sense because you wouldn't wear a quilt

Answer 10

Bu it would make more sense if it said worn out

Answer 11

Instead of just worn if you did place a comma

Answer 12

But yellow would STILL be considered and adjective.... therefore a comma would be necessary...

But i see what you mean cx

Anywayz - yahh Jus go with A.) :D

Answer 13

Hehe :P
