参考答案：
Christie's wrapped up its five-day spring auctions in Hong Kong on Wednesday, and the final bill is in: the auction house sold 2.7 billion Hong Kong dollars (US$351.7 million) of collectibles, ranging from Chinese ink paintings and Asian modern art to wine and diamonds.
Grammar and Style:
Run-On Sentences.
Just as there's nothing inherently wrong with a long word, there's nothing wrong with a long sentence. But it has to be grammatical. A run-on sentence is ungrammatical, not just long. It often happens when two sentences are run into one without the proper subordination or punctuation. Two sentences glued together with only a comma produce a comma splice, a kind of run-on: for instance, “The semester runs through April, the break begins in May.” There are a number of ways of fixing this comma-splice: “The semester runs through April. The break begins in May”; “The semester runs through April, and the break begins in May”; “The semester runs through April; the break begins in May”; “The semester runs through April, whereas the break begins in May,” and so on.

Comma Splice.
A comma splice is probably the most widespread variety of run-on sentence: it's where two independent clauses are stuck together with just a comma. You usually need some better way to attach them to one another: use a period or a semicolon in place of the comma; use a coordinating conjunction like and or or; or use a subordinating conjunction like because or although.
