May you check this self-quiz

I did this on my own, but no answers were provided. I found these from various websites.

Can you guys verify these for me?

I mainly have problems with identifiing comma splice, run-on sentences, and some tenses identifications. I did them and I want to have people to check to out for me.

Thanks!!!!
