Read the sentence below and answer the question that follows. many car enthusiasts travel the world in search of the classic car, i love old cars but can’t afford to support such a hobby. which error does the sentence above make? a. comma splice b. fused sentence c. sentence fragment d. independent clause

When we read the sentence, it doesn't quite come off right. It seems like things have been mashed together - it probably should be something more like this:

Many car enthusiasts travel the world in search of classic cars. I myself love old cars - but sadly cannot afford to support such an expensive hobby.

Let's rule out the answers.

Answer number one: A comma splice. What is a comma splice? A comma splice is where you join two independent clauses with a comma instead of / without a conjunction. This seems to fit our above situation - but we should fill out the rest of the answers.

Answer number two: Fused sentence. A fused sentence is basically a run-on, meaning it generally is not fused together with a comma. This answer seems to be ruled out.

Answer number three: Sentence Fragment. What's a sentence fragment? It's a phrase / sentence that fails to stand on itself. Not really what we're looking for.

Answer number four: Independent clauses; these are basically sentences that can stand on their own. Still not what we're looking for!

TL;DR: The answer is most likely A due to research on the others proving them to be unlikely!
