Solution

The sentence "Mr. Jones is teaching a lesson on zoology you might find it interesting." is a run-on sentence. This is because it contains two independent clauses ("Mr. Jones is teaching a lesson on zoology" and "you might find it interesting") that are joined without a conjunction or proper punctuation.

To correct the run-on sentence and make it a complete sentence, you can use a period, a semicolon, or a conjunction. Here are a few ways to rewrite it:

Use a period:
- Mr. Jones is teaching a lesson on zoology. You might find it interesting.
Use a semicolon:
- Mr. Jones is teaching a lesson on zoology; you might find it interesting.
Use a conjunction:
- Mr. Jones is teaching a lesson on zoology, and you might find it interesting.
