Question 2 • FL-1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 A-CR

Read the sentence.She lived in Senegal for a year, she learned French there.Choose the best correction for this sentence with a comma splice.

Answer
A
She lived in Senegal for a year; she learned French there.
B
And she lived in Senegal for a year, she learned French there.
C
She lived in Senegal for a year she learned French there.
D
She lived in Senegal; for a year she learned French there.

Explanation

A comma splice joins two complete sentences with only a comma. A semicolon can correctly join closely related complete sentences, so “She lived in Senegal for a year; she learned French there” fixes the error. Choice D changes the meaning by making “for a year” describe how long she learned French.
