Which is the best way to correct the comma splice in the following sentence?Jolene ran at top speed, her hair blowing in the wind, the crowd cheered wildly.

The sentence has two complete thoughts: “Jolene ran at top speed” and “the crowd cheered wildly.” Joining them with “and” fixes the comma splice. The middle phrase, “her hair blowing in the wind,” is a descriptive phrase, not a complete sentence, so choice B correctly keeps it between commas and adds “and” before the final clause.
