KUNAL Quote:
If I say,
"Dishes that are not normally served ... "
for the second part of the sentence then will it act as an IC?
Even then it will be wrong because an IC means a subject and a verb and a completed meaning at the minimum. The sentence you have proposed is a noun + noun modifier.
What would be an IC in this case? --Dishes are not normally served-- Of course, and then you must connect the second IC with the previous IC as we do in any compound sentence, with either a semicolon or a conjunction or a period. Otherwise, it would become run-on as you originally suspected.
The takeaway": Nearly 30 to 40 percent of the wrong choices are built around fragments and run-on in the SC. A basic knowledge about the structure involving the various types of simple sentences, complex sentences, compound sentences and the complex -compound sentences is vital to solving many of the SC topics.
