14. No, a comma would have created a run-on sentence |
|
With missing punctuation one might at least assume the writer intended something that might separate two related independent clauses, like a dash or a semicolon, yet neglected to include it.

6. Nope, the word patrol is singular. Is reflects the subject, patrol. |

even when singular in form, may take a plural verb. (This is actually standard in non-US English.)
