Question 14 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 A-IC
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.
