Answer:
The correct answer is Run-on sentence.
Explanation:
A run-on sentence happens when two or more independent clauses are written together as a single statement.
An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence, since it has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete idea.
There are three independent clauses in the presented fragment:
- Last summer we traveled to Egypt.
- We went there to see the Great Pyramids.
- They are one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.
The best and most efficient way to separate this ideas is with the use of periods at the end of each one. However, it is possible to use a semicolon to indicate a close correlation between ideas:
Last summer we traveled to Egypt. We went there to see the Great Pyramids; they are one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
