question 3
which group of words is a run - on sentence?
○ ira will mow the lawn on saturday.
○ felicia has piano lessons today, wednesday, and friday.
○ a good grade on the science test.
○ please help me paint the fence, ill pay you for your work.

Explanation:

A run - on sentence is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses are joined without proper punctuation or conjunctions. Let's analyze each option:

• "Ira will mow the lawn on Saturday." is a simple sentence with one independent clause.
• "Felicia has piano lessons today, Wednesday, and Friday." is a simple sentence with one independent clause (the list of days is part of the predicate, not a new clause).
• "A good grade on the science test." is a phrase, not a complete sentence (no independent clause).
• "Please help me paint the fence, I'll pay you for your work." has two independent clauses ("Please help me paint the fence" and "I'll pay you for your work") joined only by a comma, which is a run - on (a comma splice, a type of run - on sentence).

Answer:

D. Please help me paint the fence, I'll pay you for your work.
