Question 8 • GA-GSE English Language Arts 11

Why are run-on sentences problematic? Check the three best answers.

Answer
A
Run-on sentences make text more difficult to read.
B
Run-on sentences have too many words.
C
Run-on sentences can change the intended meaning of a text.
D
Run-on sentences always leave out important information.
E
Run-on sentences can make a sentence confusing.

Explanation

Run-on sentences join independent ideas without the punctuation or conjunctions needed to show how they relate. This can make the text harder to read and the sentence confusing, and it may change the intended meaning. Run-ons are not simply sentences with too many words, and they do not always leave out important information.
