Answer 2

Answer: b. Run-on

A run-on sentence occurs when two or more main clauses are not separated by a period or a semicolon, or joined by a conjunction. When this happens, the sentence contains several main ideas. This can make it difficult for the reader to efficiently process it. It can also make it more difficult to understand the way in which the clauses are connected to each other.
