Question

Which one of the following sentences contains a comma splice?

Working outside of class on the ENG002 Units is recommended for all students, working on the weekends and holidays is recommended.


Students taking ENG002 have the opportunity to receive additional help, from certified English instructors, at the ILC Writing.


For each Unit, a student needs to pass both the Unit Assessment and a Unit essay with at least an 80%.


Students who finish Unit 6 have to take the ENG111 co-req the next semester, and students who finish Unit 10 do not have to take the ENG111 co-req.

Answer 1

“Working outside of class on the ENG002 Units is recommended for all students, working on the weekends and holidays is recommended.” contains a comma splice. It has two independent phrases, but they are not separated by a coordinating conjunction; they’re separated only by a comma.
