Question

choose the correct way to connect the two complete thoughts. shuri’s bed broke, she slept standing up.

Explanation:

The original sentence is a run - on sentence. We can use a coordinating conjunction like "so" to connect the two independent clauses to show a cause - and - effect relationship. Another option is to use a semicolon to separate the two independent thoughts.

Answer:

Shuri's bed broke, so she slept standing up. (Another correct way could be Shuri's bed broke; she slept standing up.)
