How should this sentence be changed?
Look at this fossil I bought it at the gift shop in the Museum of Natural History.
Question 7 options:

a)

Add a comma after bought

b)

No change needs to be made to this sentence

c)

Add a period after fossil

d)

Add a comma after fossil

C. Add a period after fossil

Explanation:

The reader can easily deduce that this is a run-on sentence.

"Look at this fossil," Is a full stop on itself, and the thought can end there.

The next phrase can be continued in a separate sentence by itself.

Many people seem to be confused as to why the answer isn't B, and I'll gladly explain why!

The sentence goes, "Look at this fossil I bought it at the gift shop.."

"It," causes the sentence to become a run-on, and therefore isn't grammatically correct.

However, if the sentence said, "Look at this fossil I bought at the gift shop," then it would have no need to be changed, as it is a full sentence in itself with no run-on.

Another thing to note is that some of you may be thinking, "But (insert grammar checker) said it was fine by itself!"

I'm sorry to break it to you, but a grammar checker doesn't have 100% guaranteed results. Many grammar checkers do not possess the ability to catch run-on sentences and are not a credible source of information.

I hope this clears things up!

i would like to compare these two interpretations of the crucible : 1) eric christ's interretation and wade bradford's interpretation. the main differences between there interretaions is that in the first one you can notice direct link to joseph mccarthy whereas the second one represents how the town is filled with hysteria.the second interpretation shows that author believes that the story   about puritan town in salem is based on actual events while the first example shows the sencible reference to sort of bias.

oral reading is important because then you may end up loving to read if you hate it now. i hope i .
