Question

revise any the following run-on sentences using the method of revision suggested in brackets.
a. the city had one public swimming pool, it stayed packed with children all summer long.
restructure the sentence.

Explanation:

The original is a run - on sentence. To revise it, we can use a conjunction to show the cause - effect relationship. Since the city had only one public swimming pool, it stayed packed with children all summer long. This revision makes the sentence structure more logical and corrects the run - on issue by using "since" to connect the two clauses.

Answer:

Since the city had only one public swimming pool, it stayed packed with children all summer long.
