Is "The thick sugary fluid is carefully separated from the malt husks, and it is called wort." A run on sentence?

Answers

A RUN-ON SENTENCE (sometimes called a "fused sentence") has at least two parts, either one of which can stand by itself (in other words, two independent clauses), but the two parts have been smooshed together instead of being properly connected. Review, also, the section which describes Things That Can Happen Between Two Independent Clauses.  

Here is an example  "I love to write papers I would write one every day if I had the time!" The run on sentence would be... "I love to write papers.  I would write one every day if I had the time!"

Read the sentence. I am interested in drawing, painting, and make sculpture. Which is the best revision of the sentence? A. I am interested in drawing, to paint, and to make sculptures. B. I am interested in drawing, painting, and to make sculptures C. I am interested in drawing, painting, and making sculptures. D. I am interested in drawing, paint, and make sculptures.

Answers

The correct option is letter C. I am interested in drawing, painting, and making sculptures.

This is the best option as it follows the principle of parallelism in sentences which states all words within a listing should belong to the same word type. In this case, the original sentence stated two ideas as gerunds (drawing, painting) and a last one in the base form of the verb (make sculptures) which went against said principle.
The third choice is the best revision to the sentence: "I am interested in drawing, painting, and making sculptures."

Which sentences in this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" show that the White family does not believe in the talisman’s power?"Hold it up in your right hand, and wish aloud," said the Sergeant-Major, "But I warn you of the consequences."
"Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."
Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter as the Sergeant-Major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm.
"If you must wish," he said gruffly, "Wish for something sensible."

Answers

Answer:

"Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."

Explanation:

These sentences are the ones that demonstrate that the White family do not believe in the power of the talisman. In these lines, we learn that Mrs. White compares the story to the Arabian Nights. This implies that the woman believes the tale to be as fictitious as a fairytale or a legend. Moreover, Mrs. White asks for four pairs of hands for herself in a mocking way. This supports the idea that she does not believe in the power of the talisman.
