• It contains a comma splice because it abruptly connects two accomplished thoughts just by employing a comma which creates confusion in the meaning of the sentence.
• In order to rectify, the comma(,) must be replaced with a semicolon(;) to mark the end of the first clause, and the transition 'however,' followed by it gives connectivity and shape to these ideas.
