Explanation:

For Question #18, the original run - on sentence combines two independent clauses without proper punctuation or a conjunction. The first option uses the subordinating conjunction "even though" to correctly link the two ideas, making it a complex sentence. The second option is a fragment. For Question #19, the first option uses the subordinating conjunction "because" to show the causal relationship between being frightened and thinking the cabin was haunted. The second option is a run - on sentence.

Answer:

Question #18: Even though the woman sprained her ankle close to the finish line, she still finished the race.
Question #19: We were frightened because we thought the cabin was haunted.
