D. which having fingerlike projections that poke through an opening, which is called the taste pore, located at the top of the taste bud
E. which have fingerlike projections that are poking through an opening located at the top of the taste bud called the taste pore

if each of them is run on in sentence A
why many of them is not run on in this sentence below


In Hungary, as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of which are in middle management and light industry.
A. as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of which are in

First SC C will be the ans. A is also wrong because"Them " may refer to anything.

SC 2 OA should be C

the correct sentence should look like
--------
In Hungary, as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of them in middle management and light industry.



Where is run on ..?

many of them in middle management and light industry -- is not a independent clause
This time no looking back!!!

Run-on sentences are the improper joining of two independent clauses. Independent clauses need to be separated by a period, a semicolon, or by a coordinating conjunction.

many of which are in middle management and light industry is not an independent clause; I suppose it might be called a nominal relative clause in apposition (though I would have to double-check all my terminology).
