Question 7 • 26/27 ENGLISH 11 A

Which sentence contains a comma splice?

Answer
A
Marco rode to school on his bicycle this morning, he arrived an hour early.
B
Marco, who enjoys riding his bicycle to school, arrived just before the bell today.
C
Marco rode to school on his bicycle on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
D
Marco, who rode to school on his bicycle this morning, arrived an hour early.

Explanation

A comma splice occurs when a comma joins two independent clauses without a conjunction. In A, “Marco rode to school on his bicycle this morning” and “he arrived an hour early” can each stand alone as a sentence, so the comma between them creates a comma splice. The other choices use commas correctly, such as setting off extra information or separating items in a list.
