Explanation:

A run - on sentence is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses (complete sentences) are joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunctions. The sentence "Latin jazz singer Celia Cruz was born in Cuba, but she became a U.S. citizen in 1961." is a correct compound - sentence with a coordinating conjunction "but". The sentence "The opera singer wears exaggerated makeup on stage she does so to make her features visible to the audience." is a run - on as it has two independent clauses "The opera singer wears exaggerated makeup on stage" and "she does so to make her features visible to the audience" without proper punctuation or conjunction. The sentence "After electricity is produced in a power plant, where does it go?" is a complex sentence with a dependent clause "After electricity is produced in a power plant" and an independent clause "where does it go?".

Answer:

The opera singer wears exaggerated makeup on stage she does so to make her features visible to the audience.
