The sentences that are run-ons or contain comma splices are:
1. **Luis wanted to take the ferry from Argentina to Uruguay he forgot his passport though.** (This is a run-on sentence because it has two independent clauses that are not properly connected.)
2. **I went to Argentina last year; I learned to tango in the milongas of Buenos Aires.** (This one is not a run-on; it's correctly punctuated with a semicolon. However, if you meant to identify issues with it, there is none because it correctly connects two independent clauses.)
The other sentences are correctly punctuated and do not contain run-ons or comma splices.
