Answer

1.

Brief Explanations:

Sentence 1 is a run - on sentence. A conjunction is needed to connect the two independent clauses. Option A uses "but" which shows a contrast (it's possible to camp but you need a permit). Option B is still a run - on. Option C uses "or" which gives a wrong logical relationship (it's not a choice between camping and needing a permit).

Answer:

A. It is possible to camp in the Everglades, but you will need a permit.

2.

Brief Explanations:

Sentence 4 is a run - on. Adding a comma after "waterways" to separate the two independent clauses is the correct way to fix it. Option A would make two separate sentences but the second part "you will see many unusual fish" is related to taking the paddleboat. Option C is in the wrong place.

Answer:

B. Add a comma after waterways.
