答案是C，我的问题是：Iguana s have been an important food source in Latin
America since prehistoric times and it is still prized as a game animal by the campesinos, who typically cook the meat in a heavily spiced stew.

如我改后的句子，先不考虑此句语法、逻辑错误；但说这种句子结构对不对？算不算run-on?and到底可否连接两个并列的句子？

谢谢！

为什么不对呢？

and当然可以连接了

我认为是没问题的，对照正确答案Ｃ，你也只是把复数they\ animals统一成单数了，因此结构上是没问题的。但这题的一大错误点就是单复数的问题啊

Iguana s have been an important food source in Latin America since prehistoric times and they are still prized as game animals by the campesinos, who typically cook the meat in aheavily spiced stew.
就像酱紫，到底对不对呢？要不要加逗号呢？
我是倾向于：在and前加“，”
