Answer 1

The subject of this question is English and the grade level is High School. The student is asking for help in correcting sentence splices in a paragraph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is English and the grade level is High School. The student is asking for help in correcting sentence splices in a paragraph.

A sentence splice occurs when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined together without proper punctuation or coordination. The three sentence splices in the paragraph are:

• 'I wanted to play sports since I like to play soccer a lot, I was a year away from graduating from high school to start university and I was very happy about it when my dad decided to bring me to the United States.'
• 'I joined the soccer team at my high school and it helped me feel not so lonely and strange, because I had people to talk to and have fun with, it helped me a lot, honestly.'

To correct these sentence splices, the student can use conjunctions such as 'and' or 'but,' add semicolons, or break the sentences into separate clauses or sentences using proper punctuation.
