Answer 1

Gina's alarm clock did not go off she was late to school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the ONLY FIVE ways to correct the error:

> Make two simple sentences using a period to separate them.

Gina's alarm clock did not go off. She was late to school.

> Make two simple sentences using a semi-colon to separate them.

Gina's alarm clock did not go off; she was late to school.

> Make a compound sentence using a comma and a coordinating conjunction.

Gina's alarm clock did not go off, so she was late to school.

> Make a complex sentence using a subordinating conjunction. (Notice how the comma is used.)

Because Gina's alarm clock did not go off, she was late to school.

> Connect the sentences using a conjunctive adverb. (Notice how the semi-colon and the comma are used.)

Gina's alarm clock did not go off; therefore, she was late to school.
