Which of the following is an example of a run-on sentence?
a)My sister Molly likes to read books to my little niece and nephew every night.
b)Casey's dad took her to a candy store because he wanted to buy her a sweet treat.
c)Many people at work were talking about the new laptops they were going to get.
d)We should clean the house before your mother comes home she will be here soon.
explanation: the last part of the sentence “she will be here soon” sounds out of place. in order to make it flow, it would need a conjunction such as, because. therefore this makes it the answer.
D) we should clean the house before your mother comes home she will be here soon
A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses (also known as complete sentences) are connected improperly. Example: I love to write papers I would write one every day if I had the time.
