Answer:

a. comma

b. semicolon

c. conjunction

d. period

Explanation:

Run on sentences are sentences that continue to be running on and on without definite phrases and clauses. This results in long-winded sentences that are continuously separated by commas and continue to run continuously. In this case, a run-on cannot be corrected by adding commas. A semicolon can be an option. Here is an example:

  • Run-on: I don't like you I don't hate you either.

The sentence can be corrected as follows:

Semicolon:

  • I don't like you;  I don't hate you either.

Conduction:

  • I don't like you and I don't hate you either.

Period:

  • I don't like you.  I don't hate you either
