Answer 1

A. The New York Renaissance was named after the Harlem ballroom where the team played its games; the ballroom's owner would not let the team play there otherwise. The correct sentence is: The New York Renaissance was named after the Harlem ballroom where the team played its games; the ballroom's owner would not let the team play there otherwise.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sentence is:

The New York Renaissance was named after the Harlem ballroom where the team played its games; the ballroom's owner would not let the team play there otherwise.

The original sentence is a run-on sentence because it lacks proper punctuation to separate the two independent clauses. Adding a semicolon (;) before 'the ballroom's owner would not let the team play there otherwise' creates a correct compound sentence.
