the answer should be E this noun dishes must be there after comma ,if it is not like in A then 'not normally served' modifies giraffes and gazelles which is incorrect ,so eliminated A

Hey ! isn't Option E has a run on issue ? Experts please help
E. Some restaurants in Kenya offer dishes made with the meat of giraffes and gazelles, dishes not normally served First thing is that a run-on involves two clear ICs. But choice E is just one IC and another appositive modifier ( perhaps mistakenly taken for another IC). Therefore, there is no issue of a run-on.

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.
