Item 4
Directions: Read the item below. Then answer the questions that follow.
In preparation for the quiz, La'Mia studied comma splices and fused
sentences until she thought her brain would burst, finally, she put away
her notes, convinced that she would remember the rules even on her death
bed.
Is this item a comma splice? If you believe it is a comma splice, use your mouse to choose the left door below. A comma splice, remember, is two complete sentences incorrectly joined with a comma.
Or is the item a fused sentence? If you believe it is a fused sentence, then use your mouse to choose the right door. A fused sentence occurs when a writer incorrectly runs together two complete sentences with absolutely no punctuation.
Whichever door you pick, you win a prize—but only the correct choice is a cool cyber prize!
