Solution

The correct sentence is "Phil jogs before work every morning. He is so energetic!" This sentence is correct because it separates the two independent clauses ("Phil jogs before work every morning" and "He is so energetic") with a period, making them two separate sentences.

The first sentence "Phil jogs before work every morning he is so energetic" is a run-on sentence because it lacks punctuation to separate the two independent clauses.

The second sentence "Phil jogs before work every morning, he is so energetic" contains a comma splice because it uses a comma to separate two independent clauses, which is grammatically incorrect.
