Which is a fused sentence?
a. our pet poodle loves to sit on our laps and take long naps.
b. i love drawing because it exercises my imagination.
c. choosing a video game is hard there are so many for sale.
d. pablo took a music class that focused on playing the piano.

The answer is letter C. Choosing a video game is hard there are so many for sale.

Explanation:

A fused sentence happens when we put together two independent clauses with no punctuation or conjunction to connect them. An independent clause has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought on its own.

We have precisely that in letter C. Two independent clauses were put together without proper punctuation or a conjunction to connect them:

1. Choosing a video game is hard.

2. There are so many (video games) for sale.

We could correct the sentence in letter C by using a semicolon to separate the clauses or by using the coordinating conjunction "for" to establish a relationship of explanation between them.

- Choosing a video game is hard; there are so many for sale.

- Choosing a video game is hard, for there are so many for sale. --> note that we must add a comma before the conjunction

yeah! it's really me with my homework, you should try it!

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
