Even though Dania studied all weekend, she still answered many questions incorrectly on the quiz.

Answer 1

B. The phone's battery ran out Mr. Collins had to borrow one from another passenger

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, there should be a comma between out and Mr. Collins. There is no period at the end. Without the comma the sentence makes no sense. It's confusing and it doesn't take time to pause. This is why this is a run-on sentence.
