while you can correct a run-on with a connecting word, you were asked to split the run-on into two separate sentences.

Explanation:

To split the run - on sentence "I joined the Spanish Club, I'm having a great time" into two separate sentences, we need two independent clauses each ending with appropriate punctuation. Choice 2 is "I joined the Spanish Club. I'm having a great time." Here, the first sentence "I joined the Spanish Club" and the second "I'm having a great time" are two independent, properly punctuated sentences. Choice 1 has no punctuation between the two thoughts, Choice 3 changes the meaning and doesn't split the original run - on, and Choice 4 uses a conjunction to combine them (not splitting into two separate sentences as required).

Answer:

Choice 2: I joined the Spanish Club. I'm having a great time.
