Answer 1

a

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement is correctly punctuated and is not a fused sentence. A fused sentence occurs when two independent clauses are joined together without the appropriate punctuation, which can make the sentence difficult to understand. In this case, the second clause is correctly joined to the first clause with the coordinating conjunction "in fact" and a comma.
