WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE? @Redneck1443

OpenStudy (aum):

I think C has the comma splice. "They bought the tickets" is a complete sentence. "They went on the trip" is also a complete sentence. If you want to join them into a single sentence you need words such as "and" or other conjunctions. To use comma to join them is the comma splice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OKAY WHAT ABOUT THE SECOND QUESTION @aum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C cause there aint no conjunction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WHICH ONE IS KNOWN AS A RUN ON SENTENCE ? @Redneck1443 @aum
