Answer

The answer is "Yara was tired she went to sleep early."

Explanation
Option 1: Yara was tired she went to sleep early.

This is a run-on sentence because it consists of two independent clauses ("Yara was tired" and "she went to sleep early") that are not properly connected by a conjunction or punctuation.

Option 2: Yara was tired; she went to sleep early.

This is not a run-on sentence. The two independent clauses are correctly connected by a semicolon, which is an appropriate way to join related independent clauses.

Option 3: Yara was tired, so she went to sleep early.

This is not a run-on sentence. The two independent clauses are correctly connected by the conjunction "so," which is preceded by a comma, making the sentence grammatically correct.
