Question

the heat on a hot day explained the zookeeper. fix the sentence. is it a fragment or a run - on? bats sleep in caves they leave to find food. use these words to answer this week’s questions. export interconnected inhale inactive eleven erupt international import not every word will be used.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. For the bat sentence: It contains two independent clauses ("Bats sleep in caves" and "they leave to find food") joined without proper punctuation/conjunction, so it is a run-on. We can fix it by adding a semicolon, conjunction with a comma, or making two separate sentences.
  2. The top partial text is a fragment as it lacks a main independent clause stating what the zookeeper explained about escaping heat.

Answer:

  1. Fixed top fragment (example): "Escaping the heat on a hot day is how the animals survive," explained the zookeeper. It is a sentence fragment (missing a complete main clause).
  2. Fixed bat sentence (option 1): Bats sleep in caves; they leave to find food.

Fixed bat sentence (option 2): Bats sleep in caves, and they leave to find food.
Fixed bat sentence (option 3): Bats sleep in caves. They leave to find food.
This original sentence is a run-on sentence.
