Which sentence correctly uses a comma to join independent clauses? Carlo loves riding the roller coaster, but I prefer the merry-go-round. It’s unlikely that you will do well on the test, without studying. Marcia is good at sculpting clay and, I am good at carving wood. The weather forecast looks good, so, you should have a great trip.

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

An independent clause is a sentence. Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz. A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. A dependent clause cannot be a sentence.

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok is it d? @MarcoReus11

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

OpenStudy (ulink):

D, has an extra comma that is not needed.

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

an independent clause can be 2 sentences and still make sense if u take away the comma

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

so start taking away comma and split up the sentences and see if they make sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):
