The question is asking us to define the sentence ""I want to run, to skip, and to jump". This is a parallel construction, which means that the three parts ("to run", "to skip" and "to jump" are in the same kind of construction - to <verb>. It could be considered comma splice, but a comma splice would rather be the case if there were different subjects : for example in "I want to run, she wants to skip".
