Question

Which two complex sentences are worded correctly and avoid the use of fragments, run-ons, and splices?
Liza didn't go home right away after school because she had soccer practice.
Although the subway was on time, Jules and his sister were still late to the play.
Tao teaches photography to middle school students he's a talented teacher and artist.
Worked in the community garden, growing peppers and tomatoes.

Answer 1

The first and second sentences are correct:

- Liza didn't go home right away after school because she had soccer practice.
- Although the subway was on time, Jules and his sister were still late to the play.

(The third is a fused sentence — add punctuation or a conjunction: "Tao teaches photography to middle school students, and he's a talented teacher and artist." The fourth is a fragment — add a subject: "She worked in the community garden, growing peppers and tomatoes.")
