Question

Read this sentence:

I have to complete my assignment I can’t go to the movies tonight.
Which option fixes this fused sentence error?

A.
I have to complete my assignment, I can’t go to the movies tonight.
B.
I have to complete my assignment and I can’t go to the movies tonight.
C.
I have to complete my assignment, so I can't go to the movies tonight.

Answer 1

The answer would be A because a comma is used when another sentence adds to the current sentence. I don’t know if that makes sense.

Answer 2

Answer: C

The sentence is a run-on sentence which can easily be fixed by adding a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) and adding a comma to separate the two independent sentences.
