Temporary-employment agencies benefit not only from the increasing demand for clerical workers but also  the higher profits made when highly paid professionals are placed, requests for whom  have increased in the recent wave of corporate takeovers.

Why is option E not a run-on sentence?
After comma, there is an independent clause(Requests for whom(highly paid professionals) have increases.....)

EducationAisle · Answer

Following is actually  not  an independent clause:

requests for whom have increased in the recent wave of corporate takeovers.

You could think of  whom  as introducing a relative clause/dependent clause.

Without  whom , this would indeed have been an independent clause:

requests for highly paid professionals have increased in the recent wave of corporate takeovers .

KarishmaB · Answer

'requests for whom ... ' is a modifying clause with a relative pronoun 'whom.' It modifies 'highly paid professionals.'
We can re-write this as 'for whom requests have increased in the recent wave of corporate takeovers.'

This would be an independent clause had it said "Requests for them have increased ..."
Then it would have been a run on sentence.
