which options falls off right away?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, B is not the answer, because it can't be a simple sentence. Think though, you have: you have 2 clauses, but only the first can be independent. The second clause is subordinate. http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/runons.htm RUN on. http://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/compound_sentence.htm Compound I think it is compound.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

wait, my bad, the second claause can also be a sentence,.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So, it is compund.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I said that second is subordinate, and I think it is not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. I thought it was run-on at first because in my book, it says that it can only be a compound if there is a conjuntion connecting the 2 sentences. It was kinda confusing.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

no, I looked over a link, and it is actually true that it has to be joined with a conjunction. it says that next to the first cube. just go with run on, and sorry for confusing you so much.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

http://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/compound_sentence.htm see the 4 cubes, the 4 conditions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats okay. Could you help me out with a few more?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Maybe.. I am not so good at English, as I have just manifested myself-:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its a run on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
