Describe a comma splice
Answer:
A comma splice is the use of a comma between two independent clauses. A comma splice can typically be corrected by changing the comma to a period and therefore making the two clauses into two separate sentences, by changing the comma to a semicolon, or by making one clause dependent by inserting a dependent marker word in front of it.
Incorrect: She eats an apple every day, it tastes delicious.

(or) She eats an apple every day, and it tastes delicious.

(or) Because it tastes delicious, she eats an apple every day.
