B. Correct these run-on sentences by rewriting them in your notebook

as compound and complex sentences without changing their meaning.

You can correct a run-on sentence by connecting or separating its parts
correctly. There are several easy ways to connect independent clauses.

Use a full stop (.) to separate two clauses.

Example: She always goes to school. She tops exams every year.

Use a semicolon (;) to join two equally important clauses.
Example: She always goes to school; she tops exams every year.

Use a comma (,) to join independent clauses appropriately with
coordinating conjunctions like but, so, or, and, etc.
Example: She always goes to school, but she scores poor marks.

Use a subordinate conjunction like because, if, as,
when, since, etc. to create a complex sentence and to
improve the flow of clauses.

Example: If she always goes to school, she will top
exams every year.
