ILL MARK BRAINLIST !! Softball was once an Olympic sport, it was a way to showcase the talent of athletes.

run-on  (but technically, it is a comma splice -- but that answer option is not provided)

Explanation:

There are two independent clauses here. Two independent clauses must never be connected with a comma -- unless you add a coordinating conjunction. Alternatively, you may use a period with a capital letter, or you may use a semi-colon with a lower-case letter.

examples:

Softball was once an Olympic sport, and it was a way to showcase the talent of athletes.

Softball was once an Olympic sport. It was a way to showcase the talent of athletes.

Softball was once an Olympic sport; it was a way to showcase the talent of athletes.

A true run-on sentence would be this:

Softball was once an Olympic sport it was a way to showcase the talent of athletes.

Note that there is NO punctuation between clauses.

he correct answer is choice c. promoters of ufc events were eager to work with state athletic commissions, without public pressure being a necessary inducement.

if you could vote brainliest that would be absolutely phenomenal. : )

i believe the answer(s) would be all but external conflicts.
