QUESTION 2 A fused (or run-on) sentence occurs when two or more complete thoughts run together
without proper punctuation or a conjunction. Choose all of the correct options for fixing
this fused sentence: "Ariana got lost on the way to the festival she ended up twenty miles
from where we planned to meet."
1.Ariana got lost on the way to the festival; she ended up twenty miles from where we planned to
meet
2.Ariana got lost on the way to the festival, she ended up twenty miles from where we planned to
meet.
3.Ariana got lost on the way to the festival, and she ended up twenty miles from where we planned
to meet
4.Ariana got lost on the way to the festival. She ended up twenty miles from where we planned to
meet

The three correct options are:

1.Ariana got lost on the way to the festival; she ended up twenty miles from where we planned to meet.

3.Ariana got lost on the way to the festival, and she ended up twenty miles from where we planned to meet

4.Ariana got lost on the way to the festival. She ended up twenty miles from where we planned to meet.

Explanation: 1. Use a semicolon between two closely related independent clauses. 3. Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction such as and, but, or, & yet. 4. Separate the two clauses into two sentences. Use a period at the end of the first sentence. Start the new sentence with a capital letter.

2. Is incorrect. It is an example of a "comma splice" where a comma is used instead of the other correct options.
