Answer 21

A run-on sentence has two parts that could act as separate sentences on their own, and are not divided by proper punctuation. So which do you think it is?

Answer 22

A

Answer 23

No wait sorry

Answer 24

B

Answer 25

Not quite. Proper punctuation to separate two clauses that are independent (they can act as sentences by themselves) is a semicolon. For instance, if I said "The sky is blue, it is a nice day" or "the sky is blue it is a nice day" that would be a run-on sentence, but if I said "the sky is blue; it is a nice day" that would be a correct sentence.
