Explanation:

Question 1

A run - on sentence is a sentence that combines two or more independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunctions. The sentence "We went to the park yesterday Lizzie was there eating ice cream and reading a book." has two independent clauses ("We went to the park yesterday" and "Lizzie was there eating ice cream and reading a book") joined without proper punctuation or a coordinating conjunction, so it is a run - on sentence.

The sentence "Donna and Jojo went to visit grandma." is a single independent clause with a subject ("Donna and Jojo") and a predicate ("went to visit grandma"), so it is not a run - on sentence.

The sentence "Imagine being outside in this freezing cold I’m so lucky to be all warm and bundled up at home." has two independent clauses ("Imagine being outside in this freezing cold" and "I’m so lucky to be all warm and bundled up at home") joined without proper punctuation or a coordinating conjunction, so it is a run - on sentence.

Answer:

YES
