Answer 1

B.Using a comma to join independent clauses that could stand alone as sentences

Answer 2

B. Using a comma to join independent clauses that could stand alone as sentences

Step-by-step explanation:

A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses (clauses that express a complete thought on their own) are incorrectly joined by a comma. In order to fix this error, the two clauses should be joined by a semicolon or a conjunction or should stand alone as full sentences. An example of a sentence with a comma splice: I don't want to keep working in this company, I deserve to have a better job.
