QUESTION 4
Comma splices occur when two complete sentences are incorrectly joined by a comma.
Choose all correct ways to fix the following comma splice: He likes to cook, he likes to eat.


1. He likes to cook, and he likes to eat.

2. He likes to cook; he likes to eat.

3. He likes to cook. He likes to eat.

4. He likes to cook he likes to eat.

Answer 1

Answer:

Options number 2 and 3 are correct.

Explanation:

These are two different sentences and you already mentioned that the origional sentence had a comma splice, so option 1 is incorrect. A semicolin can always be used for joining two complete sentences, so option 2 is correct. These are two complete sentences, so option 3 is definitely correct. Option 4 has a sentence that has two complete sentences joined together without any puncuation, which is incorrect, so Options 2 and 3 are correct.
