Answer 1

For the first part of your question, the group of words that constitutes a run-on sentence is:
**Felicia has piano lessons today, Wednesday, and Friday. A good grade on the science test.** (This is a run-on because it’s actually two separate thoughts that are mistakenly linked together without proper punctuation.)

For the second part of your question, the best way to correct the run-on sentence:
**My younger brother will have a birthday soon he will be seven years old.**
The correct option is:
**My younger brother will have a birthday soon. He will be seven years old.** (This uses a period to separate the two independent clauses.)
