OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, his account is acting up....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyhow, is B. the correct answer?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

I don't think so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o_o Really?

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

Yeah B is incorrect. A run-on is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses (i.e., complete sentences) are joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunction

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

B is okay as it is. There is one with incorrect comma usage.
