Nancy Soto · Answer 1

D is a run on sentence because there are no commas or periods and it is quite long

Skye Hawkins · Answer 2

The answer is definitely D, because it contains two independent clauses that are joined together without a comma or conjunction. (An independent clause just means a chunk of language that has both a subject and a verb and could be a complete sentence on its own.)
