Question 1: C. Since you don’t have it.

Question 6: A. My computer hates me I really think it does.
Question 7: None of the above
Question 8 : A. contains a subject and a verb and makes sense on its own
Question 9 :C. can be used to combine two independent clauses correctly
Question 10: A. make sense on its own

The answers are as follows:

Question 1: C. Since you don’t have it. 
"Since you don't have it." is an example of a dependent clause and is considered a sentence fragment without an independent clause to connect to.

Question 5: B. leaves a thought unfinished
A dependent clause leaves a thought unfinished and again, must be joined with an independent clause. Most of the time, dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions such as: after, before, since.

Question 6: A. My computer hates me I really think it does.
Letter A is an example of a run-on sentence since it involves two independent clauses that have no proper conjunction to connect them.The two independent clauses are: "My computer hates me." & "I really think it does."

Question 7: C. a writing error
Run-on sentences are generally considered errors. However, certain authors intentionally use them as 'stylistic' errors to add flavor to their work.

Question 8: A. contains a subject and a verb and makes sense on its own
An independent clause contains a subject and a verb and makes sense on its own. An example would be, "Sam feels sad." Not only can independent clauses stand on their own, they are also the lacking ingredient for dependent clauses to become complete. For instance, "Since it is Monday, Sam feels sad."

Question 9: C. can be used to combine two independent clauses correctly
A comma can be used along with a proper conjunction to link two independent clauses. An example is, "Today is Monday, and Sam is sad."

Question 10: A.make sense on its own
It has been reiterated here many time that independent clauses can stand on their own.
