Which sentence is a run-on sentence? A. Pancakes are easy to make; waffles require a bit more effort. B. When you eat breakfast, do you prefer pancakes or waffles? C. My brother John had scrambled eggs, my sister Tori had French toast. D. Have you ever tried poached eggs on toast or jam on pancakes?

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (logan13):

a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is incorrect. Do you understand how semi-colons are used?

OpenStudy (projects):

A RUN-ON SENTENCE (sometimes called a "fused sentence") has at least two parts, either one of which can stand by itself (in other words, two independent clauses), but the two parts have been smooshed together instead of being properly connected via http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/runons.htm

OpenStudy (logan13):

c

OpenStudy (projects):

Sorry, OpenStudy seemed to crash on me, but I honestly feel it could be either C or D. How about you?

OpenStudy (thebadyboy):

D

OpenStudy (rockinhood):

Definitely D @logan13 because there are no commas or semi-colons. It's a bunch of add-ons, like "and & or"
