Run on is of several types, depends on the context of the sentence. For example: when we join two Independent clauses with "comma+ FANBOYS", it’s a run on. Or dependent clause at first connected to an independent clause without a comma is a run on

Sorry, when we don’t join comma+ FANBOYS

In a recent experiment about the hypothesis that expectation influences experience of flavor, researchers conducted a taste test with over 200 participants in which each person tasted two versions of a cola beverage, one of which, they were told, contained a “secret taste-enhancing ingredient”. Because the secret ingredient was white vinegar, researchers were surprised when participants selected the white vinegar version of the cola beverage as the tastier one and concluded that the hypothesis is correct.

Of the following options which one was not assumed by the researchers to arrive at the conclusion?

A.The participants did not ordinarily prefer a cola beverage mixed with white vinegar.

B.Study participants could really identify the beverage with the “secret ingredient” from its flavor.

C.Quantity of vinegar added to the cola was not insignificant.

D.Study participants were not selected based on their preference for the taste of white vinegar.

E.Cola recipes do not contain other taste-enhancing ingredients

pasted the question for reference

I hope you you have correctly read the question and options statements. Question asks which of the following not the assumption made by researchers? Means negation of the option would break the conclusion. Option C) Qty of vinegar was well enough ( not insignificant ), If you negate this statement: Qty of of vinegar was very minimal : then the argument breaks down. It means that the other cola sample had negligible qty of vinegar so as taste change could not be noticed, and therefore participants must have chosen the cola randomly. Hope you got it
