1. Abhishek goes to the market, and then returns home...
isn't this sentence a run on?
2. Abhsihek went to the market,but will not go to the temple...
isn't this sentence a run on too?
3. If x,y,z are parallel elements..
Allen wants x,modifier of x,y, and z.
Is the above formation correct?
4. A letter by mark twain, written in 1200, reveals........... . . . . . . . .
"by mark twain" is it a "MISSION CRITICAL MODIFIER"
IF NOT HOW COME THIS STRUCTURE IS CORRECT? modifier "written .....1200" doesn't touch its noun "letter"
5. Presenters at exhibition, one of whom is blind, will demonstrate how to use computers....
here again "one of whom is blind", is it is a sub group modifier??? if yes why isn't it touching its noun "presenters"

This is my answer to a similar question:
https://www.beatthegmat.com/run-on-seten ... tml#482890
Kasia@MasterGMAT wrote:The first two sentences you have posted are correctly connected:

I adopted two dogs, which weigh approximately 100 pounds each. - There is a comma and the pronoun "which." Thus the sentence is properly formed.

The second sentence "I adopted two dogs, each of which weighs approximately 100 pounds." is also correct for the same reason.

A run-on sentence is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses (i.e., complete sentences) are joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunction. This is the case in the next sentences:
I adopted two dogs, they weigh approximately 100 pounds each.
Only a comma separates these two independent clauses from each other and there is no logical connection between them. These two clauses could easily make two separate sentences.

The same is true about the other two sentences.

As to the first two sentences, they are not run-ons, because they contain the conjunctions "and" and "but."
I am not sure what you were trying to say in the third sentence...Could you please rephrase it?

Sentence 4 is correct.

Hi Kasia

But sentence 1 ans 2 also contain a comma before AND and BUT ; which expect a independant clause to be on both the sides.
Restlessness and discontent are the first necessities of progress.--Thomas A. Edison
